Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

"It's definitely incomparable with home, but in the Western Regions, this is already considered a first-class mansion."

Liu Bai had no choice but to admit this fact.

On the outside, it looks fine.

It's far from inside.

The majestic King Shanshan's bedroom is not as well furnished as the concierge of the Liu family

However, anyhow, it can be regarded as exotic.

endured

At this time, Su Wu came to Liu Bai with a sheepskin scroll.

"Master, this is the letter of credence sent by the Great Food Kingdom. You should read it first. After reading it, I will tell you in detail how the current situation in the Western Regions is. In short, it is a big surprise."

He unfolded the credentials.

Liu Bai handed it directly to Wang Shouren.

What the hell is scribbling, I can't understand it at all.

"Translation, translation, what is a surprise."

Chapter 917 No matter how small a country is, it is still a country

The content of the credential is very simple.

It was nothing more than Dashi's plan to use troops against Datang to seize a large area of ​​natural pastures in the Hetao area to raise horses and ask Shanshan to help.

According to historical records, there are 36 countries in the Western Regions, but in fact, the number of countries in the Western Regions will never be less than twice this number.

Among them, Gaochang is one of the best big countries.

Counting down, Yanqi, Qiuci, and Shanshan belong to the second-rate forces.

In the early years, Shanshan, or Loulan, was just a city-state.

Later, with the changes of water and soil, they gradually occupied part of the territory that once belonged to the ancient country of the Western Regions, Da Yuezhi.

There are seven or eight other cities of the same size as the capital of the country, Tangni City.

In addition, there are countless small agglomeration tribes.

Gathering troops from all over the country, we can barely gather [-] troops.

Of course, a behemoth like the Dashi Kingdom doesn't look down on 3 to [-] people.

What they want is to use Shanshan as a springboard, or as a temporary garrison to attack Datang!

Looking at the terrain of the Western Regions, they don't have many choices.

The area where Shanshan Kingdom is located is the largest oasis within a radius of two thousand miles.

The Dashi Kingdom dispatched 15 troops, and the food and grass consumed every day can be piled up into mountains.

You know, the Dashi Kingdom is no closer to the Shanshan Kingdom than the Tang Dynasty to Shanshan!

With such a long distance, it is simply impossible to maintain the supply line directly from their country!

The words of this letter of credence are very strong, and the tone is almost all commanding!

However, the Great Food Kingdom may have given Shanshan some benefits.

For example, after conquering the Hetao area of ​​the Tang Dynasty, how many pastures were allocated to Shanshan, and after the people of the Tang Dynasty were captured, how many slaves were allocated to them?

After listening to Wang Shouren's translation, Liu Bai smiled and said, "So this is a surprise."

Su Wu's work is quite awesome.

He said it was a big surprise, and it really was a big surprise!

The first thing Liu Bai thought of was to give the soldiers of the Great Food Kingdom some serious news!

It's a pity that he denied it the second time.

Not to mention, the Dashi Congress will not be completely new to Shanshan. After getting the food and grass, they will not check it and just stuff it in their mouths.

You know, that's 15 people!

Where can I find the powerful medicine that can overwhelm 15 people?

People in Taiji carry some poisons with them.

But adding it all up, it’s not enough medicine to kill 1 people

Could it be that Liu Bai immediately led people to search for poisonous weeds and flowers all over the Western Regions?

This is simply not realistic!

But this is indeed a rare opportunity.

If it is used well, it can even be defeated without a fight!

"How much control do you have over the Lord of Shanshan?"

Liu Bai said to Su Wu.

Su Wu was full of confidence, and said: "Don't worry, young master, the Lord of Shanshan can be said to be a member of our family. He is thinking about it, and he will follow us back to Chang'an City to enjoy the blessings. Being the Lord of Shanshan is better than being a magistrate in Chang'an City." comfortable!"

"Then have a good night's rest and see him tomorrow!"

After speaking, Liu Bai gave the order.

sleep!

He quite recognized Su Wu's ability.

In the past half a year, it has not been easy to create such a big situation.

Back then Liu Bai only gave him two people, and the only thing that was sufficient was money.

No matter how much silver there is, it will be dead after all.

No matter how small a country is, it is still a country!

In other words, Su Wu used 20 coins to buy a country in the Western Regions!

How many people have this ability?

Knowing people and making good use of them is the foundation of the Liu family.

The system is at Liu Bai's place, so it doesn't have much sense of existence.

It barely counted as a help to Liu Bai.

Lying on the exotic couch of the Lord of Shanshan, Liu Bai did not feel sleepy at all.

Apart from poor living conditions, he has no other worries.

It's because it's too hot!

Perhaps the people in the Western Regions were afraid of the cold, and the Lord of Shanshan wanted to serve Liu Bai well, and had someone burn the giant charcoal pot until it was glowing red.

Windows cannot be opened.

In the Western Regions in the twelfth lunar month, the temperature outside can crack stones.

It was too hot to sleep, so Liu Bai asked Shen Wei, who was on guard, to open a gap in the window.

When the temperature dropped a little, Liu Bai found a thick quilt, and did not fall asleep until it was almost dawn.

Most of the local people in Shanshan Kingdom belong to the pure Sai people.

He had fair skin, high cheekbones, and a large hooked nose.

Both men and women usually like big hats with pointed tips.

There are a bunch of bits and pieces of jewelry hanging on his body.

Although there were many foreigners walking on the street, Liu Bai never expected that the Lord of Shanshan was actually a Han Chinese!

I just saw his son yesterday, and he looks like a local!

Could it be

No wonder the hat on this guy's head is green

Su Wu didn't seem to mention this in the materials he sent back to Chang'an.

"Slave Baku, see the great master!"

The Lord of Shanshan knelt on the ground and kissed Liu Bai's shoes.

Liu Bai asked curiously, "Are you Han?"

Baku looked a little embarrassed, and cast a look of help to Su Wu.

Su Wu smiled and said, "Master, Baku is not a pure Han Chinese. Although his ancestors were combined with Han Chinese, more of them are of Hun blood."

"Huns?"

Liu Bai was even more surprised.

Didn't it mean that the Huns moved west long ago and went to play with the ancient Romans?

Baku spread his arms and said, "The great Alati is the ancestor of the Baku family!"

After finishing speaking, he seemed to feel that he was a little arrogant, and hurriedly lowered his head, and said again: "But now, the Baku family is your loyal servant!"

"So that's what happened"

Liu Bai understood.

Alati's name is quite bright.

During the former Han Dynasty, the Huns were driven out from Mobei by the big Han cavalry.

Although they are not the opponents of the Central Plains people, they are invincible all the way westward.

A huge Hunnic empire was established in the west.

Their leader at that time was Alati.

This person is called "God's Whip" by Westerners.

However, after Alati's death, his empire quickly disintegrated, and it took only four or five years to survive.

Even today, Arati has only been dead for less than 200 years.

Today, the inheritance is only seven or eight generations old.

Liu Bai found it very interesting.

When I was in Chang'an, I read the report sent back by Su Wu saying that he rescued the patriarch of a small tribe, and after recruiting troops, he launched a palace coup and easily seized the throne of King Shanshan.

The patriarch of this small tribe turned out to be a descendant of the Huns!

For a moment, Liu Bai looked at Baku with a friendly look.

He still has a good impression of the Huns.

And all these good feelings come from one person.

Baku claimed to be a Hun, and he was just a bunch of people after all, but Jin Rixun was a serious Hun bloodline!

Maybe it's the ancestor of the Baku family

Chapter 918 This guy is addicted to being an undercover agent

Liu Bai questioned Baku for half an hour.

Basically, every time Baku said a word, he would sneak a look at Su Wu.

It seemed that he was afraid that what he said would make Mr. Su dissatisfied.

At the same time, it also showed that he was afraid of Su Wu to the bone.

For this point, Liu Bai is relatively calm.

He knew Su Wu very well.

This guy doesn't trust anyone except his own family.
