The chariot division is in the front part of the country, and the king's capital is Jiaohe City.
The thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, including the Cheshi Kingdom alone, are divided into the Cheshi Front Country, the Cheshi Rear Country, the Cheshi Duwei Country, and the Cheshi Back City Chang Country. But now, only the Cheshi Country is left. Two front and rear parts.
Jiaohe City, which is the area of Turpan in later generations, has an extreme climate. It is extremely hot in summer, and cold in winter, with dripping water turning into ice, and the temperature difference between day and night is very large.
In Jiaohe City in September, the heat has long gone.
The weather is getting colder.
It was fine during the day, it was still a little hot from the sun. But at night, the wind was biting and it was difficult to march and fight.
The population of Cheshi Country is not weak, it only covers Jiaohe City, and including the surrounding tribes, it is only over 10,000 people.
The population of the city is only more than 6,000 people.
Compared with other Gancheng in Qiuci Kingdom, the city wall is also much weaker. It is just a loess wall and the city is only two feet high. And because of the strong wind and sand, the city walls are severely weathered.
However, the people in Cheshiqianbu's country are also used to it.
The king of Cheshiqianbu country is named Abelo. He is the current king and has been in power for more than ten years, but he is still quite young.
Abelo's ancestor, Aluoduo, was once the monarch of the Cheshi Kingdom. He once fought against the Han Dynasty, but was defeated, and then submitted to the Han Dynasty. He was still the king of the Cheshi Kingdom, but the major countries in the Western Region were divided. Cheshi The division country was also divided into several small countries.
In the palace, Abelo and counselor Li Dan were discussing government affairs.
Li Dan is from Liangzhou.
Because the Western Regions border Liangzhou, many Han people from Liangzhou went to live in the Western Regions. The kings of various countries in the Western Regions also knew that the Han people were talented and were willing to use these people as their advisers.
Abiluo looked worried and said: "National Master, Tianzhu in the Western Regions is coming fiercely. Tianzhu has successively annexed Shule, Weitou, Gumo, Qiuci and other places. It is said that it is helping other countries. In fact, it is Annex places.”
"Now, the Han Dynasty in the east has become the Ming Dynasty, and its power has not weakened, but has become stronger. People everywhere are spreading the news, saying that the Ming Dynasty is also dispatching troops to the Western Regions."
"Two tigers are fighting against each other, and it's hard for us people to handle it."
"Especially the Tianzhu people are coming fiercely in Kucha Kingdom. It is said that they are also dispatching troops and generals. They need to mobilize more troops, which means that a war is coming."
"National Master, what do you think we should do?"
Abelo has been in power for more than ten years. In his early years when he was young, his mother was in power and his mother's clan was in power. He was a puppet. Abelo was unwilling to give in. He secretly accumulated strength, killed his relatives in one go, and took power himself.
Although Abelo is the leader of a small country, he has some abilities.
This is not a weak person.
Li Dan stroked his goatee under his chin, smiled slightly and said: "King, the current situation of Cheshi Country is indeed not very good. However, the general trend is like this, and we can't change it at all."
Abelo asked: "Is there nothing we can do?"
Li Dan was silent for a while and said: "I have met a great talent. His name is Guo Jia. He is doing business in Cheshi Country. Although this man is a businessman, he is very talented. Maybe he has a way to deal with it. "
A gleam flashed in Abelo's eyes and he said, "Then let's meet him."
Li Dan said: "I will arrange for someone to notify you immediately."
He arranged the matter for his personal followers, and the personal followers around him went directly to take action. Abelo said in a deep voice: "National Master, is this person reliable?"
Li Dan smiled softly and explained: "Your Majesty, what is the difference between unreliable and reliable? For now, what we need is just a strategy, a strategy that is beneficial to Cheshi Country. So, listen to the other party first suggestions.”
"yes!"
When Abelo heard this, he praised: "The Imperial Master is right. No matter who comes, we only care about our own interests."
Li Dan said: "Your Majesty, Shengming."
Abelo waited, and not long after, Guo Jia entered wearing a big cloak.
After Guo Jia left Guzang County in Liangzhou, he came to Cheshi Kingdom. Fortunately, Guo Jia in recent years is not as addicted to alcohol as before, and he is not too exhausted. In addition, he is also used to the climate of the Western Regions, so the cold climate of Cheshi Country does not have much impact on him.
Guo Jia looked calm, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, Guo Jia, pays homage to His Majesty the King."
Abelo looked Guo Jia up and down.
The Guo Jia in front of him has a slim figure and is wearing a big cloak. His slender figure and angular facial features give him an extraordinary air.
If we talk about facial features alone, Guo Jia's appearance is average.
However, there was a certain aura about him, especially his dark eyes, which seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
Abelo admired in his heart.
This person is indeed not simple.
Abuluo did not ask about Guo Jia's origins, but said: "I asked the national advisor. Now Tianzhu and Ming Dynasty are eyeing him. The imperial advisor said that under the current situation, there is no way to deal with it. He said that Mr. Guo has outstanding talents and has strategies to solve it. .I don’t know, how does Mr. Guo think it should be solved?”
Guo Jia looked calm and said in an unhurried tone: "The situation faced by His Majesty the King has no solution. The reason is very simple. Cheshi Country currently only has more than 10,000 people. Such a country is a small country in Tianzhu. The population of the county. In the Ming Dynasty, perhaps a prosperous town would have had so many people."
"In this case, how can Che Shiguo resist?"
"If you blindly set goals for yourself without considering the actual situation, you will harm others and yourself, and you will not be able to achieve your goals."
"All rules should be based on the current situation, based on one's own strengths and weaknesses, based on one's own actual situation, proceeding from reality, and seeking truth from facts. This is the most appropriate judgment."
Guo Jia said confidently: "Otherwise, everything will be in vain."
After hearing this, Abelo thought about it carefully and realized that this was really the truth. He blindly formulated a strategy. However, if he did not consider the domestic situation, it would be impossible to complete the task.
Abelo said: "Now, Mr. Guo, what do you think this king should do to defend Cheshi Kingdom?"
Guo Jia chuckled and said: "Actually, there is only one way for Cheshi Kingdom to survive. That is for the Ming Dynasty and Tianzhu to stop fighting and stop fighting. Only under this premise, can Cheshi Kingdom have a chance to survive? vitality."
"However, Tianzhu and Ming Dynasty are at odds with each other, and it is impossible to stop advancing troops."
"The Ming Dynasty wants to defeat Tianzhu."
"Tianzhu also wants to get involved in the Ming Dynasty."
“You can’t tell who will win or lose without fighting.”
Guo Jia took advantage of the situation and said: "So under this premise, I believe that if His Majesty the King wants to block Tianzhu or Ming Dynasty, the first thing he must do is defend and weigh his own strength."
"For example, if the Cheshi Kingdom in Tianzhu meets the Ming Dynasty now, it will end in total annihilation. Similarly, if the Cheshi Kingdom encounters the Ming Dynasty, it will be a similar situation, and they will also encounter big problems."
Guo Jia said in a deep voice: "So after a comprehensive analysis, there is only one road facing His Majesty the King. First, lead the crowd to resist desperately. If we can't stop it, Cheshi Kingdom will be sure to become independent."
Abelo sighed.
Block!
it's out of the question.
As the leader of a country, Abelo also knew that there was a huge disparity in military power between Tianzhu and the Ming Dynasty.
Abelo asked: "Mr. Guo, we can't stop him. So, what should we do next?"
"You have to resist even if you can't."
Guo Jia's eyes were bright and he said: "Only when you have proven your strength can you have the right to negotiate. Whether it is the Ming Dynasty or Tianzhu, they need to resist, wait for the other party to surrender, and wait for the other party to offer conditions. "
"This is the only way."
"Of course, His Majesty the King can also consider whether you prefer Tianzhu or the Ming Dynasty. You can also choose one to submit directly."
"What I can do is analyze the situation for you and list the options you have."
"The specific choice is up to you, Your Majesty."
Guo Jia talked eloquently and said: "Please tell me clearly, His Majesty the King."
After hearing this, Abelo smiled softly and said in a joking tone: "The way Mr. Guo is dressed, he should be from the Ming Dynasty. Don't you want me to surrender to the Ming Dynasty? Isn't this the simplest result?"
"No!"
Guo Jia shook his head and said: "In the Ming Dynasty, there was a saying that a melon that is forced is not sweet, so there is no need to force it."
"We are all smart people, especially His Majesty the King, who has gone through many hardships to ascend to the throne. Now, wouldn't it be difficult for the King to give up all the rights in his hands and surrender to the Ming Dynasty?"
"I still suggest that His Majesty the King waits for a while to see who arrives in Cheshi Country first, and then contact the other party to see the other party's sincerity."
"Or, you take the initiative to send someone to contact us."
Guo Jia said: "To do big things and long-term things, first of all, His Majesty the King must have a yardstick in his heart, be able to hold on to it, and have his own determination. Only in this way, even in the face of difficult things, can Can turn danger into safety.”
Abelo felt enlightened after listening to Guo Jia's words. He only felt that the other party's words were in line with his thoughts.
This is the true wise man.
Li Dan saw this with a look of admiration in his eyes, because he knew that the other party was from the Ming Dynasty, and after Li Dan contacted Guo Jia, they had already submitted to the Ming Dynasty. After all, he was from Liangzhou.
If he doesn't submit to the Ming Dynasty, will he submit to Tianzhu?
It is impossible for him to go to Tianzhu.
Originally, Li Dan thought that Guo Jia would let him persuade Abelo, but Guo Jia just asked him to recommend him and didn't need to worry about anything.
Now it seems that the other party is really smart.
Guo Jia didn't make suggestions, just analysis, but it was analysis without any aggressive attitude, which made it easy for people to accept.
"Report!"
At this moment, a soldier entered and reported: "Your Majesty, a Tianzhu man named Sharma came outside the palace. He said he was on an envoy under the orders of the Tianzhu commander Mosituo."
Abelo looked calm after hearing this, but did not agree immediately. Instead, he looked at Guo Jia and said with a smile: "Mr. Guo, what do you think we should do?"
Guo Jia looked calm and said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Your Majesty, isn't this obvious? The visitor is a guest, so it is natural to receive him and test the other party's conditions. If the conditions are suitable, you can make a choice."
Li Dan was a little anxious and looked at Guo Jia inquiringly.
Guo Jia was still calm.
He has understood the situation in Tianzhu these days. Shule, Gumo, Qiuci and other countries have submitted, but they are like puppets. The worst thing is that King Shule is the first to submit to Tianzhu Mosituo. Instead, he was whipped for questioning Moshe Tuo.
Tianzhu people are very arrogant.
The other party sent an envoy. Guo Jia didn't think it was a bad thing, but actually it was a good thing.
Abelo was also surprised by Guo Jia's choice. He weighed it in his mind and said, "Whoever comes, please inform Sharma to come and see him."
