Qingyang Shuo chuckled and said, "Young master, you don't need to think too much. Shuo doesn't have any hatred against the country or family to avenge. Although the Qingyang family's status and surname are sensitive, it is also a matter of ancestors. Shuo has been attached to the mountains and rivers since he was a child, and he did not want to participate in the world's disputes. However, my little daughter Xi'er has an out-of-character personality, so she had no choice but to ask the young master to take care of her."
Liu Zheng was a little strange: "Sir, actually I have always wanted to ask..."
Qingyang Shuo smiled brightly: "Most of the descendants of the Qingyang family fled to Nanyang. In Shuo's generation, only Shuo and Xi'er are in Longyan."
Liu Zheng nodded and said nothing more.
Qingyang Shuocai continued: "The trip to the Western Regions is of great importance. If it is true as the young master said, Xie Tianyao's 500,000 troops were all defeated in the Western Regions, then we will know the mystery and terror of the Western Regions."
Liu Zheng smiled bitterly: "Last time I went to Loulan, I didn't feel this way."
Qingyang Shuo smiled and said: "Loulan has an advantageous geographical location. It is connected in all directions and is a prosperous city. With the integration of many ethnic groups in the world, it has lost a bit of the heresy and mystery of foreign races."
Liu Zheng was slightly startled.
This Qingyang Shuo really has a unique vision.
In fact, Liu Zheng had compared it in his mind before. In fact, if strictly speaking, the territory of Loulan is actually the center of the world today!
That's right.
The Longyan Dynasty was not the center. The center had always been Loulan.
The Longyan Dynasty in the east, the Persian Empire and the Arab Empire in the west, the Mughal Dynasty in the south, and Tsarist Russia in the north. and the Western countries that had begun the first Age of Discovery.
Today's world is really exciting.
And the center of all this is Loulan!
Loulan is not only the center geographically, but also based on the transportation methods at this time, if Liu Zheng's silk journey is opened up, Loulan will really become the center of the world, whether it is economy, commerce, or colonization... …
Qingyang Shuo doesn't know the current world situation, but he has a keen eye. He can judge the general trend of the world better than most people. Moreover, this general trend in the world is not limited to the Longyan Dynasty.
"gentlemen……"
Liu Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "Zheng is just worried that Mr. is physically inconvenient."
Qingyang Shuo laughed and said, "Master, do you think Shuo is already old?"
Liu Zheng said quickly: "Don't dare."
Qingyang Shuo said leisurely: "Shuo just wants to visit the Western Regions and see the customs and customs there. Master, why don't you give Shuo a chance? Haha!"
What else could Liu Zheng say, but he could only agree.
In my heart, I was deeply moved.
…
Liangzhou Prefecture.
Chen Ping, who hadn't seen him for a long time, felt more and more that he no longer had a sense of existence.
"Two hundred thousand, two hundred thousand..."
He sat in the study and gritted his teeth: "Why don't you give this Zhou Mu to Liu Dahao?"
A group of subordinates were as silent as a cicada.
The feeling of powerlessness in Chen Ping's heart is getting stronger and stronger.
Once upon a time, he was sent to Liangzhou by the prince to take charge of the seventy states of Liangzhou, and his scenery was unparalleled. However, at this time, Liu Dahao, who only occupied three prefectures and counties in the No. 70 Middle School, was at the top of his game, as if he was on equal footing with Chen. Especially this one, the Military Envoy of the Western Regions, made Liu Dahao even more famous, and he seemed to be slightly overshadowed by him.
Liangzhou.
Since ancient times, it has been the gateway to the northwest. Because of its flat and vast terrain, it was once glorious. It was the ancient capital of several dynasties and the Yongliang culture. It is world-famous. It is the famous Hexi Corridor and the starting point of the Silk Road.
However……
Now, Liangzhou is slowly starting to escape from his control. How can Chen Ping not be anxious?
Liu Chang smiled beside him and said, "Sir, having said that, I think the Liu family and his son are coming to an end!"
"oh?"
Chen Ping glanced at him.
Liu Chang smiled and said: "The greatest prosperity must inevitably decline. This is an eternal truth. Two hundred thousand...the Qingzhou Army is only three hundred thousand! What does this mean?"
"The Holy Emperor dominates the world, but he has not set foot in the Western Region for more than thirty years. Why?"
"The Western Region is not a holy land! Sir, Liu Chang believes that this is our great opportunity!"
Chen Ping's spirit trembled and his eyes shone: "How do you say this?"
Liu Chang smiled sinisterly: "Sir, officials from Beijing have come to Yinzhou to thoroughly investigate the corruption and perversion of the law by the Liu family and his son. Why don't we come and add some fuel to the jealousy?"
As he spoke, he put his mouth next to Chen Ping's ear and whispered a few words.
Chen Ping was delighted when he heard this.
…
Ma Yong was very melancholy.
He was indeed melancholy.
He was originally a commoner, but because of his rare talent and reputation, he married into a wealthy family in Beijing, but he was ridiculed by the nobles in Beijing. Ma Yong thought, if he wanted to get ahead, he would have to find another way!
In ancient times, the status of a man who married into a wife was very low.
He has already married into his wife, so what else does he need to show his face?
So, he thought of a way to read a book every day. Whoever was the most popular in the court, he would read it.
The picture is about fame.
It was also a good thing that his father-in-law was the current Minister of Rites, otherwise, he would have been assassinated countless times.
Therefore, in the Longyan Dynasty, there is a guy who is "Ma Yiben", hoping that one day he will be famous all over the world and his name will go down in history for tripping up a big boss.
He waited, waited, and waited, enduring the ridicule of many people.
finally.
Today, he got his chance!
Liu Zhizhou!
Well-known throughout the world, the dream lover of countless girls, Liu Zhizhou!
Before he came to Yinzhou, he didn't sleep for several days and nights.
Are you going to become rich?
I am an imperial envoy. When I arrive in Yinzhou, how can I not provide for the wealthy Liu family and his son?
However.
He was disappointed.
When he arrived, Liu Zhizhou treated him coldly, and Liu Dahao said he was sick and disappeared.
Ma Yong was angry.
I am the imperial envoy!
So he read out the imperial edict in front of the governor's office, attracting people from prominent families to watch, in order to give Liu Dahao some authority.
Who wants to...
When he thought he was looking majestic, a piece of dog shit landed on his face with a pop.
Ma Yong was stunned.
I am here to read the edict!
What is this? He smelled it and it smelled a bit stinky. Could it be dog shit? So, he licked it, and his expression suddenly changed. It was indeed shit!
"How can this not make sense? How can this not make sense? You are a barbarian and a pariah! You are a barbarian and pariah!"
He accompanied him and brought a group of soldiers who were about to resort to violent measures.
"Get out of Yinzhou!"
"You alone dare to investigate my Mr. Liu?"
"Get out!"
"Hit me!"
The people were angry.
Where is this Liangzhou? On the border between Han and Qiang, the people are tough and unafraid of death. The people are tall and burly with explosive personalities. In this three-thirds of an acre of land, no one can do anything!
Master Liu and Young Master Liu are their monarchs!
then.
Ma Yong was knocked off his horse and ran away with his head in his arms.
"Untouchable!"
"Untouchable!"
"This Yinzhou really has different intentions! Bring me a pen and paper, I want to report it to the Holy One!"
…
Naturally, it is impossible to take all the 200,000 troops to the Western Regions.
In the past few days, Liu Zheng and Qing Yangshuo have been studying this trip to the Western Regions. In order to avoid force majeure in Yinzhou, at least 50,000 Yinzhou troops will be left to guard the three states.
so.
There can only be 150,000.
This is simply incomparable to Xie Tianyao's 500,000-strong army back then.
But Liu Zheng smiled and said: "The soldiers should be good, not numerous. One hundred and fifty thousand is enough."
But Liu Dahao was worried: "Son, why are you going to the barren Western Region for such a good person? Hey, can you give back your title of Jiedu Envoy?"
Liu Zheng rolled his eyes at him.
This trip to the Western Regions focused on rebuilding the Protectorate of the Western Regions.
In fact, everyone had thought of a way before. Isn't the Holy One the Protectorate of the Western Regions? It's easy to say, let's go to Loulan in Yinzhou to establish a symbolic presence. I believe that if Yinzhou can show some sincerity and benefits to Loulan, Loulan can still mediate.
But at this time...
An assassination attempt by Sikong Jing still forced Liu Zheng to a dead end.
then.
Qingyang Shuo then suggested that since public anger had arisen, it would be better to go with the flow, announce it to the world, recruit troops on a large scale, and prepare for future conquests across the world.
Everyone agrees.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is the day when envoys from various festivals return to Beijing to report on their duties.
The 150,000 Yinzhou Army finally set sail.
The army has been preparing for its departure for several months. Food, grass, baggage, and all kinds of tools must be prepared. This cannot be done in just one sentence.
Early in the morning.
The people came to see each other off.
Qin Changfeng was once again named General Pingxi. He was dressed in black to express his condolences to Sikong Jing.
"kill!"
"My sons, kill all those barbarians!"
"Don't worry, Yinzhou will be guarded by our old arms and legs!"
"Avenge Mrs. Qin!"
"Son, for the sake of your father and your mother, work harder to have a younger brother. Don't be afraid of death! Mr. Liu is devoted to the people and should repay him with his own life!"
The mighty 150,000-strong army was long and occupied almost the entire Yinzhou Plain. Along the way, the simple words of the people made people cry.
It was different from the last time we fought against the Huns.
This time.
It’s the men of Yinzhou who are about to expand their territory!
Regardless of whether it can succeed or not, even if the chance of success is very low, this is still the first time in decades that the Longyan Dynasty has set off outside the customs.
All over the world.
They were all watching at this time.
The wind rustles and the water becomes cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone.
Liu Dahao, as the Jiedushi Envoy, ordered the soldiers and flags, pointed his sword at the sky, and was wearing a military uniform. He was also majestic at this time.
"Qinghai Changyun Dark Snow Mountain!"
"The lonely city looks at Yumen Pass in the distance!"
"The yellow sand wears golden armor in a hundred battles!"
"The Western Region will never be returned until it is broken!"
Jiang Xuan waved his hand.
One hundred and fifty thousand soldiers chanted in unison, and the sound was loud.
The common people were moved when they heard this. All over the mountains and plains, this sonorous and powerful poem by Liu Zheng, with its iron-clad rhythm, seems to have become the soul of this army.
"The Western Region will never be returned until it is broken!"
Martial.
Tragic.
The people never left.
It took three or four hours for the 150,000 Yinzhou soldiers to disappear into the billowing dust.
"We must protect the Young Master's Silver Beach City."
"Young Master said, this is our Silver Beach City..."
"Yes, our Silver Beach City!"
"What about the bastard Ma Yong?"
"Have you eaten today's shit?"
"Go find him!"
