Chapter 672 Kongming Lantern

After Wang Xuance finished his three reasons for helping Mongolia, he looked at Tuo Lei, Tuo Lei laughed, stepped down from his seat and helped Wang Xuance up and said: "Mr. Wang, your reasons have successfully convinced me. You trade! Mister must be tired from the journey, come and prepare wine and meat, I want to wash Mr. Wang away!"

Tuo Lei knew the importance of Wang Xuance. If the business was successful, then they would spend 20 troops in Mongolia every year.But this does not require him to pay anything from Mongolia. Compared with the taxation of income from governing the country, this money comes too easily, and there are no side effects.

The goods belonged to the Great Han, and the buyer was the Western Great Qin. He Mongolia only needed to rely on Wang Xuance's ability to conduct business and provide protection along the way.To provide 20 soldiers and horses a year, Wang Xuance's role at this time is not as fast as it is, and even his role in dragging mines in Mongolia is great.

Tuo Lei gave Jebe a wink, and Jebe understood, adding another seat on the platform above.Tuo Lei's seat was opposite to Wang Xuance's seat to show respect.

"Mr. Wang, now that Longxi is still underway, we can't get the workshops of the big man. I'm afraid we will have to wait for a while to go to the Western Great Qin to do business. I don't know what the master wants Xiao Wang to prepare during this period?" After drinking for three rounds , Tuo Lei asked Wang Xuance.

Wang Xuance said with a smile: "Business is nothing more than goods, business channels, and sellers. These three things, if these three are resolved, you can naturally make money. Now the goods are still unavailable, and the seller is far away in Daqin. I will communicate with them when the time comes." , to get what the prince wants. Now there is only business that needs to be resolved!"

"Business?" Tuolei laughed loudly and said, "You don't have to worry, sir. I'll send five thousand cavalry to protect you. My Mongolian cavalry is invincible throughout the world. With their protection, your business road will be guaranteed."

Wang Xuance shook his head and sighed: "With the protection of your cavalry, the journey will be safe and sound. I'm talking about the territory of the Western Regions. When I was doing business in the early years, there were many stations in the Western Regions for resting and sorting goods. But Now that the Western Regions are in chaos, most of these places are severely damaged, so..."

Tuo Lei didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "With the protection of my cavalry, why do you care about these places?"

"Prince, you don't do business, and you don't know the secrets. The goods will be damaged after being transported for a long time, and it takes time to sort them out every time they go to a place. For example, tea, rice paper, silk and satin, if it rains, they will be destroyed, so every few dozen I have places to hide all the way. Your cavalry can only prevent bandits, but they cannot avoid natural disasters. If it rains, can they protect the goods from wind and rain? Therefore, the restoration of stability in the Western Regions is imminent!"

Tuo Lei thought it made sense when he heard it. Soldiers and horses can protect the safety of the caravan, but they cannot stop natural disasters. If it rains, some goods will definitely be damaged.Hence the need for safe havens from such natural disasters.

But when Tuo Lei heard that he needed to restore the stability of the Western Regions, he was overwhelmed. Now the people in the Western Regions are panicking, and many people are rebelling. How easy is it to stabilize?
Seeing Tuo Lei's expression, Wang Xuance knew that he was in trouble, and immediately said: "Prince, there is no need to be in trouble, this matter is easy to say. The leaders of the countries in the Western Regions must have cronies above the country, right?"

Wang Xuance turned his head to look at the leaders, and they all nodded quickly, isn't this nonsense, since they are going abroad, of course they have cronies in the country.

Wang Xuance looked at Tuolei and said with a smile: "Since there are cronies, then the leaders will tell me their news later. Prince Tuolei is attacking Cao Cao right now, so I will take this opportunity to go to the Western Regions and contact your cronies. Tell them about our cooperation with Prince Tuolei, and let them rule the people in peace, so that the Western Regions will naturally restore stability! When I come back, Prince Tuolei must also defeat Cao Cao and take Longxi, so that he can go directly to the West Is Daqin doing business?"

Tuo Lei was overjoyed. Looking at the leaders of the Western Regions, the king said: "Sir, you are really smart. You all cooperate with you to strive for the stability of the Western Regions as soon as possible, and start business again."

"Come on, I'm offering a toast to sir!" Tuo Lei held up his glass to persuade Wang Xuance to drink.

Wang Xuance also raised his glass to greet him, but a smile flashed in his eyes.

His purpose here is to contact the leaders of the Western Regions to rebel against Mongolia, but are the leaders of the Western Regions so easy to approach?Wang Xuance had to first gain the trust of Tuolei and other Mongolian high-level leaders, and approach these leaders with the reason of reopening the business.

Now that the plan is successful, Tuo Lei personally ordered these leaders to cooperate with Wang Xuance, and Wang Xuance can go to the leaders of all walks of life in a fair manner.

That night, Wang Xuance started to act, persuading all the leaders to turn against the Mongolians.

The Western Regions are divided into the North and the South. Among them, the northern countries have long been under the control of the Xiongnu, while the southern countries are closer to the Han.

Among them, Shanshan, Khotan, and Shule are the leaders, which are several big countries in the South Western Region.Back then, Ban Chao used Shanshan soldiers to manage the Western Regions. Later, the court was in turmoil and ordered Ban Chao to return, but the people in Khotan and Shule asked Ban Chao to stay. This is the story of Ban Chao running the Western Regions alone.

From this, we can see the relationship between the great Han and the southern countries.

The first thing Banchao looked for was these lords, and he invited the three of them to the camp. The lord of Khotan said first, "Mr. Wang, thank you very much. If it weren't for you, our country would be ruined once the people have nothing to do with their lives." .Now the confidant in our country is my son, this is my token, you just ask him to help you when you go to our country!"

Wang Xuance waved his hands, and said in a low voice: "You are too naive, really think that my merchants can provide Mongolia with the cost of an army?"

The Lord of Shanshan was shocked and said: "Sir, did you just now?"

Wang Xuance quickly covered his mouth with his hand, and said in a low voice, "Be quiet, do you want to die?"

Seeing that the Lord of Shanshan kept nodding, Wang Xuance let go of his hand, and said in a low voice: "I am the envoy sent by the great Han, and I am here to contact you. Now the war is imminent. As long as you turn against each other, Mongolia will naturally be destroyed, and your country will also be destroyed." No need to be ruled by Mongolia!"

The faces of the three changed drastically, but there was deep fear in their eyes. Wang Xuance sneered and said, "What's there to be afraid of? The Mongolian soldiers and horses are said to be 15, but most of them are from your Western Regions. As long as you defect at a critical moment, Are you still afraid of Mongolia being undefeated?"

"But Mongolia is strong... If I rebel and cannot defeat Mongolia, or if Mongolia retreats to the Western Regions, wouldn't the people of our country..." Shanshan King hesitated.

Wang Xuance sneered and said, "Mongols are strong only for you, but against my big man, which time did you get benefits? In the first battle of Wuwei, our army wiped out [-] Mongolian cavalry, and drove the fierce Mongol general Kubilai to madness. In the First World War, our army destroyed [-] Mongolian cavalry, defeated the Mongolian general Wang Baobao, and killed Kubilai. A few days ago, the Mongolian raided our army and fought against our army with superior forces. Our army was mostly infantry, and the casualties were only [-]-[-]. .Where do you think Mongolia is strong?"

The three gritted their teeth and said, "Sir, it's about the life and death of the people of our country. I really dare not take risks, and I will not betray you. If you can't raise supplies for the Mongols, you should find a way to escape!"

Wang Xuance glared and said: "You are so confused, the Mongols treat you like pigs and dogs. He said that they will treat you well if they take Guanzhong, do you really believe his nonsense? How difficult it is to take Guanzhong, our Han army is extremely powerful, Where can he be defeated? The longer the time drags on, the worse it will be for the people in your country to be enslaved by the Mongols!"

The King of Khotan hesitated and said: "At present, our army has the upper hand, and we should be able to take Guanzhong soon. Presumably the Mongols will not break their promises?"

"Heh, I'm not afraid to tell you, now that the emperor has captured Jizhou, his soldiers and horses will soon be able to support Guanzhong, so you have a chance to win as a Mongol?" Wang Xuance sneered.

Shule Guozhu looked disbelieving: "Since the emperor of Han Dynasty has taken Jizhou, and the soldiers and horses will come to support them soon, why do you want to make a fuss and come to divorce?"

Wang Xuance said with a heartbroken face, "Isn't it because of our friendship? If the emperor arrives, the Mongols will retreat. Then you will be enslaved by the Mongols even more, and the emperor hates traitors most. The vassal states of the Han Dynasty are now helping the Mongols, how will the emperor deal with you? Right now, you should turn to His Majesty as soon as possible, instead of being half-hearted!"

When the three of them heard this, their faces changed drastically. If Liu Bian came over soon, the Mongols would not be able to take Liangzhou. They would either retreat or continue to fight recklessly. Wouldn't it be the people of the Western Regions who would lose and consume?

And once Liu Bian wins, if they are pursued...the three of them look bitter, how do you calculate this, they have no good fruit to eat?It seems that the only way to go is defection!

The three were still a little worried and asked: "But how can you guarantee that the big man won't hold us accountable after he wins?"

Wang Xuance looked at Khotan, and the Lord of Shule asked back: "Don't you remember General Banchao? How did he govern your country? Your Majesty's benevolence today is even worse than that of the emperor back then. You still have What are you worried about?"

When the kings of Khotan and Shule heard Ban Chao’s name, their eyes were full of memories. Although Ban Chao had passed away for a hundred years, his story is still passed down in the two countries. Treating them, they all cried bitterly, and deeply felt Ban Chao's great virtue.

The three looked at each other, finally nodded and said, "We promise sir!"

Next, Wang Xuance acted in accordance with the law and found the leaders of the southern countries one after another. With his sharp tongue, he successfully persuaded them to turn against Mongolia.

As for the northern countries, they are relatively close to Mongolia. Although the Mongols don't treat them very well, Wang Xuance didn't inform them just to be on the safe side and not leak the news.

At that time, the war will be fought together, and under the general trend, these country leaders will definitely attack the Mongols.

That night, a lamp quietly flew into the sky, Wang Xuance looked at the lights in the sky and said with a smile: "Kong Ming is really a genius, actually let the lamp fly into the sky!"

"Mr. Wang succeeded, let's go back and inform the governor!"

In the darkness, tens of miles away, the scouts sent by Zhuge Liang saw the lights rising in the sky, and hurriedly rode back to Shangbang to report the news.
