Chapter 461
Wen An was very satisfied with Wang Hua's attitude.

Literati, pay attention to respect, just like Zhuge Liang, did Liu Bei invite him twice before, didn't he know?If he is easily invited by Liu Bei, he may be underestimated.So let Liu Bei invite three times and four times.Shangguan Xiaowan asked Wang Hua for another 50 yuan, which is also the same.

It was obvious that he came here to join Wang Hua, but Wang Hua not only invited him to sit, but also used the word "sit up", poured tea for him himself, and Wen An showed a happy smile on his face.

He was not polite either, and sat down directly. The news he brought today deserved Wang Hua's respectful attitude towards him.

He took a sip of tea and said, "Wang Shilang, I have brought a map of Shu."

The map of Shu is not necessarily there. This is a metaphor, which means that he came here with important information.

"Thank you," Wang Hua saluted. He didn't break into the palace, but he still knew a little about the Wei family.This Wen An is also an important staff member of the Wei family, and all those who can rank among the top families in the Tang Dynasty are talents.It may not be comparable to Zhu Dian, but it is also a top-notch character.Even if he didn't bring any news, Wang Hua would still value it.

Now we need people and money, but what we lack are top talents.Oceania, in particular, is now beginning to be institutionalized.It doesn't work without institutionalization. The number of people is faintly moving towards the 200 million mark. If the extensive management is the same as before, it will inevitably lead to chaos.

Wang Hua's attitude made Wen An more and more satisfied.

Of course, since you are going to defect to Wang Hua, you can't be too arrogant, and immediately saluted and said: "Wang Shilang, I can't bear it. But I have limited time, so I will tell you something immediately, and then I have to go back."

Even if he defected to Wang Hua, Wang Hua would have to stay at Wei's house for a while when he went to Tubo immediately.

However, this may not be the case, Wang Hua already had the idea of ​​letting him go to Oceania, but he has not talked with him yet, so he has to talk to him.After all, Oceania is far away from the Central Plains, this Wen An may not be willing.

Wen An continued: "First of all, let me talk about the Mayan Kingdom. It is possible that Wang Shilang is also suspicious now, but Wang Shilang doesn't know the specific situation, right?"

Wang Hua nodded, don't imitate Cao Cao to smart people, and tell Xu You about one month's food, then Wen An may wonder whether he will kill Xu You like Cao Cao did in the future.And it is indeed very important, if you know what news the two people from the Wei family brought, you can judge the reason why Wei Shi changed his mind, and what Wei Shi is thinking now.

Wen An told the whole story.

In fact, the search for this Mayan country is mainly the court team.The Wei family also sent people, but in the name of the imperial court, there were about 100 people.Although the number is small, they are all strong men.All the way to the north, Liaodong is now Da Zuorong's domain, and he didn't say the reason. He just went north to find a piece of territory, and Da Zuorong didn't care.After all, the north is a cold place, and even the Mohe people of Da Zuorong are not interested, let alone the Tang Dynasty.

It was very smooth at the beginning, and I brought enough luggage and mounts, but when I arrived in the north, there were some uninhabited places.Even if there are people, people are uncivilized and very brutal.However, there were very few of these savages, and they only met two groups, and a conflict occurred, but the battle was resolved smoothly.

Wang Hua is really unfamiliar with the area north of the North Xing'an Mountains, and there is no record in the history books.But the news from Wen Ande proves that there are human beings, but uncivilized human beings, and there are very few of them.

But the further north you went, the colder the weather became. Many war horses froze to death, and even soldiers froze to death.But fortunately, because of Zhang Xiaosong's trip to the extreme north, the Tang Dynasty began to have a preliminary understanding of the extreme north and took precautions, so there were still four to five hundred soldiers after crossing the Bailing Strait.

It's just that the horses were frozen to death.

Continue to walk south, and spring will come, and the Mayan country is not found, and all you see is frozen soil.But as we continued to the south, we gradually encountered some minority tribes, who were also very backward and fierce.The language cannot communicate yet, but it is similar to some local dialects of the people of the Tang Dynasty (the original language of the Indians is not clear, but many dialects of the Maya are very similar to Chinese, if you are interested, you can study it, so I won’t go into details here), but none of these soldiers understand.

Some wars broke out piecemeal, and in the end, helplessly, the number of people dwindled.There are still a hundred or so people left. As we go south, there are more fierce natives, who dare not go south.So one night, he attacked a tribe, got some horses and supplies, and returned north.

Of course, this is thanks to the role of Wang Hua's compass and telescope.

Hearing this, Wang Hua didn't know where the group of people went, but they met aboriginal people, who might be close to the original southern part of Canada. Indians frequently appeared only in the Rocky Mountains in southern Canada.Of course, they haven't been to the United States yet, otherwise there would be more and bigger tribes, and this group of people might not be able to come back even if they wanted to.

In fact, if it is not for self-interest, this line of work is still impressive, and it will even be recorded in the annals of history in the future.

Back to the north, found the Bering Strait.It should be said that this line is all smart and brave soldiers. When the group went, they marked some conspicuous landmarks along the way.Otherwise, even with a compass, it would be impossible to return smoothly.

But the Bering Strait has thawed.So I made some more rafts, but this is a strait, even if it is not wide, it is as wide as [-] to [-] kilometers. As you can imagine, only a dozen or so people crossed the strait safely.He also brought three horses.

The members of the Wei family took advantage of their power, and the three members of the Wei family came back first.But a strong man died on the way, and only two came back.As for the other [-] or so people, because of walking, it is unknown when they will come back, and they may never come back.

After the two returned to the Wei family, the Wei family, as the number one surname in Chang'an, was honored by Empress Wei. The economic situation has been good in recent years, and how many staff members they have.Listening to the reports of the two people, I immediately discovered the doubts.That is the grain that Wang Hua said.The north is permafrost, but this line goes south, but there are large tracts of primitive land.Moreover, further south, there should be more primitive fertile soil that can be cultivated.Moreover, although the local indigenous people are fierce, their civilization is backward.

According to what Wang Hua said, the Maya should be able to rule this area smoothly.With land and slaves, why worry about food?
That is to say, the Mayans that Wang Hua said were fake.

But after all, they went to very few places and cannot be used as evidence.It can be used as evidence, what does Wang Hua use to earn money?Ask the three-year-old children on the street, and they all know that Wang Hua is subsidizing the people and the country.What are the consequences if it is handed over?Or not to the Wei family?Will the Wei family use the money they won to subsidize the people of the country?

This can only show that Wang Hua took precautions.

Moreover, there is no evidence to prove that what Wang Hua said is false, so Wang Hua cannot be convicted of deceiving the emperor.

So the Wei family sent people to explain it to Wei Shi, of course they could only say that Wang Hua had a different intention, and there was nothing else he could do about it.

After hearing this, Webster was silent and did not express his position.

As for transferring Zhu Ting away, it was just a defensive move, and he didn't intend to kill him.Wang Hua doesn't need to worry too much about this.Of course, the interests considered by the two are different. What Webster considered was the consequences of moving Wang Hua, and whether it would be detrimental to her politically.The Wei family only considers the huge amount of money every year.This is not hundreds of thousands of money, it may be close to tens of millions of money every year.

Therefore, the Wei family focused their attention on another person, Zong Chuke.

When they thought about it, what could Wang Hua's family have?Once Wang Hua died, the rest would be gone.As long as preparations are made in advance, once Wang Hua dies, he will be able to accept Wang Hua's "inheritance" smoothly.Therefore, a lot of money was used to bribe Zong Chuke. Originally, Zong Chuke had a bad relationship with Wang Hua, and his second brother Zong Jinqing turned Wang Hua into a pig.The two hit it off.

But it is very difficult to kill Wang Hua.

So he came up with an idea, let Wang Hua send an envoy to Tubo, and then encouraged Tubo power ministers Dayan and others to kill Wang Hua in Tubo during Wang Hua's return journey.

But Webster was still hesitating. After all, Wang Hua valued love and righteousness. If he married Li Bao'er, he would at least not oppose her if he didn't look at the face of the monk or the face of the Buddha.If something goes wrong with the court, Wang Hua can be used as a firefighter to fight the fire.This will be extremely helpful in stabilizing her regime in the future.

Therefore, considering Webster's psychology, the Wei family and Zong Chuke discussed an excuse.After all, the Maya Kingdom is fake, so the power in Wang Hua's hands is amazing.It happened that Wang Hua was on an envoy to Tubo, and the Wang family had no one in charge. It might take four or five months to come and go.During this time, the imperial court can send some people to investigate the matter secretly.

If Wang Hua had rebellion, the imperial court would deal with it in some ways;It was reasonable, and Webster agreed.

In other words, Webster has continued to wait and see until now, and has no intention of killing Wang Hua.But the Wei family and Zong Chuke were murderous, and they bribed the Tubo general Di Dayan and others.

The station of the army led by Di Dayan happened to be in the Jishi Mountain area, and it was the place where Wang Hua's envoys must pass through.Of course, you can't be tempted when you go, and you have to get married. Wang Hua can't have an accident.

Wang Hua smiled slightly upon hearing this.The inside story is not very clear, but Wang Hua made detailed arrangements.After he left, the arrangements that should have been made had already been made. Even if the imperial court sent people to surround the house, nothing could be found if they tried to investigate.And for the safety of his family, Wang Hua didn't dare to bring Li Xuejun with him. This was to protect the safety of his family.

It's a pity that my parents insisted on coming to Chang'an, it would be better if they were in Luoyang.

And he also expected that there was something weird in this line of business, and Zhu Tong had just been transferred earlier, which had already alerted him.Besides, Shangguan Xiaowan and Princess Taiping tipped him off.But Wang Hua didn't expect that Webster would be able to forgive him this time.

Do you want to let her go in the future?
But the news Wen An brought was still very important, and he had to solve many mysteries.

Wang Hua bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you Mr. Wen for bringing this map."

"Don't dare."

"Mr. Wen, I don't know how to reward you generously. But what is Mr. Wen going to do in the future?"

"Follow the situation," Wen An smiled.But this is not a psychological statement. Since he brought such important news, it is obvious that he wants to rely on his merits to defect to the Ming Lord.

No need for suspects, no doubts for employers, Wang Hua said: "Mr. Wen, since you have revealed such important news to me, I also think that Mr. Wen is Fazheng, not Zhang Song."

Two important people under Liu Zhang defected to Liu Bei, and Zhang Song brought a map of Shu.There is another person, Fazheng.In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the position is not very important.It is also impossible for Wang Hua to use the historical facts of the Three Kingdoms to discuss people and things, and there is no Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

This is the history, after Fazheng defected to Liu Bei, he made many tricks. Liu Bei called himself the Queen of Hanzhong, and named Fazheng as Shang Shuling and General Protector. His status was only below Zhuge Liang, and far above Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.After his death, Liu Bei cried for several days, and was posthumously named Yihou, and he was the only minister with a posthumous title in Liu Bei's era.The other person, Zhang Song, was killed by Liu Zhang after returning to Shu.

Wang Hua took the opportunity to say that it would be dangerous for Wen An to go back.

Wen An didn't answer.

In fact, he doesn't want to go back, but it depends on what Wang Hua will give him.

Wang Hua did not disappoint him, and said: "I have a place that is short of manpower to manage, but it is far away overseas. If Mr. Wen is interested, you may as well work for me. And although the place is far away from the Central Plains It is remote, but there are still 200 million people under its jurisdiction, and it is also an opportunity for Mr. Wen to make big plans."

"How many people?" Wen An looked confident up to now, but he was shocked when he heard it.

200 million people, not 10 people, how many people are there in Lingnan Road?And with his wisdom, there is no need for Wang Hua to explain.How many years did it take for Wang Hua to really develop his strength?This number will continue to increase in the future.Maybe even 500 million, 1000 million.This is already the number of people in a regular country.

"Mr. Wen, would you like it? If Mr. Wen is willing, I will write a letter to Mr. Zhu and ask him to arrange for you to go to that land." Now Oceania has given Wang Hua some headaches, and Xiao Yaxuan and Song Wen have been training for the past few years Come down, the ability is very good.But managing such a large place is still very difficult.If it wasn't for fear of suspicion from the court, Wang Hua might have transferred Zhu Dian to coordinate management.

"Wang Shilang regards me as a scholar, and I will repay him as a scholar." Wen An bowed deeply.

It was only a one-time relationship, and this might be the biggest trump card in Wang Hua's hands. Wang Hua immediately entrusted himself, and he could indeed treat him as a gentleman.

This reward is also far better than the value of the news he brought over.

After sending Wen An away, Wang Hua felt more confident, but he also speeded up the trip.In September and a half, I came to the land of nine bends in Hexi (southeast of Qinghai Province and its adjoining area with Gansu Province).This is a strategically important place, because of the convenience of the Yellow River, rich water and grass.Tubo people have always coveted this place, but the Tang Dynasty did not let go, and Tubo had nothing to do.Later, the Scarlet Battalion was stationed not far from here, and Tubo launched some small-scale harassment, and suffered a little loss, so they gave up.

Of course, in the final analysis, the situation in Tubo is still tense now. The new emperor is still young and the domestic situation is not stable. In addition, there are plagues of livestock in many areas, so this marriage of the Tang Dynasty is also needed to stabilize the situation in Tubo, not to mention Dare to attack Hequ.

But here is also the place where Tubo and the Tang Dynasty meet.

There are also almost no Han people, either Tubo people, or Tuyuhun people who were distributed in Tang territory after Tubo was destroyed by Tubo, or Dangxiang people and Qiang people.Further to the south is Jishi Mountain, but the majority of the ethnic groups distributed are Tuyuhun people, followed by Tubo people.

Now it is the season of high autumn and crisp air, and the scenery of the meander is beautiful.Jin Cheng rarely stepped out of the team to watch the scenery along the way.

But after walking south for two days, he saw Tang Jing, and suddenly a thick cloud of smoke rose up in front of him.

Without Wang Hua's instructions, Yang Ju immediately asked the soldiers to be alert.

Although it belongs to the Tang Dynasty, it is also the Jimi area of ​​the Tang Dynasty.Various races often clashed, such as the conflict between the Tangxiang people and the Qiang people, and the conflict between the Tuyuhun people and the Tubo people.Not only was the Tang Dynasty unable to rule this area, but in Tubo territory, more Tuyuhun people were displaced and treated as slaves by the Tubo people because of the Tuyuhun's subjugation, and conflicts occurred many times.Also restless.

After a while, the smoke and dust approached, and Wang Hua narrowed his eyes.

What came was a large army, about two or three thousand men.Pulling the banner of Tubo, Basangba, the envoy of Tubo's marriage this time, hastily said: "General Yang, don't panic, this is our army."

There were rebels, but neither the Tuyuhun people nor the Qiang people were capable of organizing such a huge army.

Wang Hua's eyes narrowed even tighter, but Basangba didn't see a sharp light appeared in Wang Hua's eyes.

The army is getting closer and closer, and you can see that the Tubo soldiers are wearing pierced armor, which is a combination armor, which is more effective in resisting the damage of weapons than bare plate armor.In recent years, the Tubo army has swept the world with this kind of armor, almost invincible.

However, this kind of armor is not as good as fish scale armor, let alone Mingguang armor.But it is much better than the chain mail of the Tang Dynasty.

There are also some flags flying, but Wang Hua doesn't know the characters.

But it is possible that Tubo did not know many people.This is the contribution of Princess Wencheng. After she went to Tubo, she put forward three conditions to Li Shimin. First, she should bring a Buddha statue;Especially the latter system is the reason why Tubo can stand for a long time.

But this kind of writing has just appeared, and not many people know it.It turns out that almost no Tibetans believe in Buddhism, let alone a written history.

Later, the family broke up and did not mention this matter.In fact, there are many tigers raised in China, the first one is the Japanese, and the second one can only be counted as Tubo.

The army was right in front of them, with gleaming armor, tall Tubo war horses, various artisan slaves and servants of the Tang Dynasty sent off to their relatives, as well as soldiers, all of them had ashen-colored faces and trembled with fright.The faces of the accompanying Tubo people showed color.

But they didn't expect that Tubo's arrogant behavior made Wang Hua angry.

Wang Hua randomly drew a horizontal knife from a guard, and rode a horse to meet him.With two sabers head-on, Wang Hua cut off the horse's head from the mounts of the two soldiers who rushed over first.

This is just a horizontal horse, it is not uncommon to kill a war horse, but even the horse's head is cut off, the horse's flesh and skin don't matter, the main thing is to cut off the thick bones neatly, what a strength it is.

With just two stabs, the Tubo soldiers who rushed over immediately reined in their horses.

The Tubo soldiers at the back didn't know what happened, and they couldn't control it well for a while, and they turned into a mess.

Basangba was stunned for a moment, and immediately ran over to ask: "Wang Shilang, we sent people from Tubo to welcome the princess, why did you kill the horse?"

"Is this how you Tubo greeted the princess? You really didn't pay attention to our Tang Dynasty. Since you have no sincerity to marry the princess, then good, Your Highness, let's go back to Chang'an."

When Princess Jincheng heard this, she beamed with joy, disregarding etiquette, and immediately ran over, climbed onto Wang Hua's mount, and hugged Wang Hua's solid chest tightly.
But she was young, and no one cared.Besides, the customs of the Tang Dynasty don't matter anymore, let alone Tubo people.Even if Princess Jincheng is an adult, sharing a horse with Wang Hua, there is probably no protest from the Tubo people.

But Basangba was dumbfounded when he heard it.At the poetry banquet that night, the minister of both civil and military skills in the Tang Dynasty wrote a poem, strongly opposing the marriage.Since he, as the envoy of the marriage, is very proficient in Chinese, he can also hear it.But pretending to be stupid and crazy, pretending not to know.

Moreover, Wang Hua was famous in the Tang Dynasty for his unscrupulous actions. Now that he took Princess Jincheng back, how could he explain to Zanpu and the Queen Mother?

After a while, he knelt down in front of Wang Hua's horse and stopped Wang Hua.
