Three days later, Liu Deng finally received the letter from Yuan Ang.
"Your Majesty, how are they doing over there?"
Cao Wei asked nervously.
"What else can you do? You can get ready to go! I think it won't take long. I guess the edict from the new Xiongnu Great Chanyu has arrived before you even get to King Aries!"
King Zuo Xian finally got a definite reply, and the stone hanging in Liu Deng's heart finally fell to the ground.
Now that King Zuo Xian has taken care of it, King Aries will be able to handle it much easier.
No matter how much noise King Zuo Xian makes, there is no solution for Yi Zhixie at all.
Coupled with the fact that the Aries King has two sides, he has no escape route at all. Apart from surrendering, what awaits him is death.
If he fell into the hands of the Han people, he might still be able to save his life, and no matter what the purpose was, the emperor of the Han people would definitely guarantee his prosperity and wealth.
But it was different when it fell into the hands of the Huns. Both King Zuo Xian and Yi Zhixie were both cannibals without spitting out bones.
This multiple-choice question is actually very easy to answer. With him as a breakthrough point, the remaining King Hunxie and King Loufan will not have any hesitation at all.
The three of them have always advanced and retreated together. As long as one person surrenders, the rest can only surrender.
After capturing the Hetao area, the real good days were just coming for the Han people.
Originally, if the Huns wanted to go south, Beidi County, Shang County, and Longxi County would immediately become a battlefield.
However, if the Hetao area is completely controlled, as long as a few large cities are built along the Yellow River and a few cities on the north bank of the Yellow River, even if the old thief Maodun is reborn, he will not even think about taking a single step across the Yellow River!
The Hetao area is rich in water and grass, which is a good place to raise horses.
Regarding the research on steam engines, the Wuhan Research Institute still has a long way to go.
And even if their research is successful, the first-generation steam engine cannot replace the war horse.
For a long time to come, war horses will remain one of the most important strategic resources.
With the Hetao area and the horses they captured in these battles, the history of the Han army's lack of horses will be gone forever.
And more importantly, with the Hetao area under control, it will be much easier to pursue the Hexi Corridor in the next step!
With the current strength of the Han army, as long as it lasts another three to five years, when the Han people have established a firm foothold here, they can naturally use the Hetao area as a springboard to completely drive the Huns to Mobei!
"Is His Highness the King here?"
Just as the two people were discussing secretly, Cheng Bushi's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"What happened?"
Listening to Cheng Bushi's anxious voice, Liu Deng asked quickly.
"Your Highness, the general has just received information that the Qiang people have just looted Lintan!"
After hearing what Liu Deng said, Cheng Bushi hurriedly replied.
"Just go and do your own thing. Things here are basically no big deal!"
Liu Deng understood immediately. It seemed that he had to rush to deal with it.
"This is the third time this year, these damn Qiang people!"
Cheng Bushi cursed somewhat depressedly.
"Are they so powerful in combat?"
Liu Deng frowned. The Qiang people's equipment was extremely poor. It was really unusual that they were able to break into the county this time.
"These bastards, they just run away every time they grab a vote. They have no backbone at all. They are no different from a group of robbers!"
When Cheng Bushi said this, he felt helpless for a while.
This was the most uncomfortable part for him. These people were like robbers, they would come to bite you at no time.
Moreover, the most annoying thing is that they ran away after the fight, with no intention of risking their lives against the Han people.
They are the kind of people who are so short-sighted that it makes people uncomfortable. Every time the Huns make a move, they almost have to grab a certain amount before running away.
But these Qiang people often act on the spur of the moment, grabbing a vote and then running away.
To put it bluntly, this is the kind of truly shameless person who doesn’t even know what it means to be embarrassed.
"Go and do your business first, and by the way, have someone send me a list of the things they have robbed over the years!"
Liu Deng hesitated for a moment, and then said.
"List?"
Cheng Bushi looked at Liu Deng strangely.
"Then there's always a quantity after what they're grabbing, right?"
The corners of Liu Deng's mouth twitched.
"this......"
Cheng Buji felt embarrassed for a while.
"Forget it, are there any merchants in this city who do business with them all year round?"
From the look on his face, Liu Deng knew that he had never done this before. After all, Liu Deng's requirements seem to be a bit high for current officials.
These Qiang people basically robbed whatever they encountered, whether it was daily necessities or livestock and women, there was nothing they didn't want.
They were like a swarm of locusts, basically barren of grass wherever they passed.
They will not leave anything of value behind, even the clothes on the corpse, they will strip them off and take them away in the end.
"There are a few of these, and they are all used by the generals to find out information. I will ask them to come over immediately!"
Hearing Liu Deng's question, Cheng Bushi knew in his heart that Liu Deng was going to give him some advice, and he felt secretly happy.
After all, wasn't it because of Liu Deng's ingenuity that Dai Guo was able to achieve such prosperity?
"Okay, you go and do your business."
"promise!"
After Cheng Bushi left, not long after, two businessmen, led by Shunzi, came to Liu Deng.
"What do you two call me?"
Seeing their awkward looks, Liu Deng asked with a smile.
"Reporting to the king, Cao Min Wang Dazhu, this is my younger brother, Wang Erniu!"
Perhaps seeing the smile on Liu Deng's face, this obviously older businessman answered carefully.
"I heard that you have been doing business with those Qiang people all these years?"
Liu Deng asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty King Mingjian, we are all doing our best for the imperial court!"
Upon hearing Liu Deng's question, the two brothers immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed as if they were pounding garlic.
After all, the charge of treason is no fun.
The imperial court explicitly prohibited people from doing business with those Qiang people.
"Don't be nervous, you two. General Cheng has already told me that I called you here today just because I want to ask you something!"
Seeing the two of them nervously, Liu Deng quickly motioned to Shunzi to help them up.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Hearing what Liu Deng said, the two brothers finally breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Dazhu quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead before standing up tremblingly.
"You two have been doing business with those Qiang people over the years. What is the best thing to sell to them?"
Liu Deng asked with a smile.
"Of course it's strong liquor! When these Qiang people see strong liquor one by one, they feel as close as meeting their parents! An adult big cow only needs a small jar of strong liquor, and a pound of it can be exchanged for it. !”
Speaking of business matters, Wang Erniu bravely replied.
"Is there anything else?"
Liu Deng asked, touching his chin.
"Of course the better selling thing is grain. Those Qiang people don't know how to farm, but they always need to eat some grain. The grain we sell here is sold at sky-high prices over there."
Wang Dazhu answered carefully.
"Food..."
As Liu Deng spoke, he chewed a few fried beans and made them crunch, but his mind flew to nowhere.
Seeing Liu Deng lost in thought, the two brothers looked at each other, and no one dared to continue talking.
"If this king were to sell this grain to you two brothers, would you two dare to do it?"
After pondering for a long time, Liu Deng suddenly asked.
