Chapter 1317: Han Banner World (VII) News From Afar

The report letter from Niu Ben was dozens of pages long. Gao Yuan looked at each one carefully, and after reading each one, he passed one to Yan Shenghao. The study became quiet for a while, but occasionally Gao Yuan raised his head. Come and ask He Lanjie some questions.

In a blink of an eye, the watch drum outside was already beating the third watch. Gao Yuan finally finished reading the thick report materials, frowned and pondered for a moment, and said to himself: "I didn't expect to get in touch so quickly?"

Yan Shenghao also finished reading the materials, "The king is talking about this big food in black? It doesn't look very powerful. Since it can even block the king scissors, it doesn't necessarily mean he has much strength."

"No, you don't understand them. This is a very scary nation. They combine politics and religion. The head of the government is also the head of the sect. They have fanatical support for the [Pig_Pig_Island] novel w.zhhuo.m religion. Fighting is very troublesome.”

Yan Shenghao looked at Gao Yuan in surprise: "Your Majesty, we men have never had contact with them, and we have never even heard of them before. How do you know this?"

Gao Yuan smiled and did not answer Yan Shenghao's question. Instead, he looked at He Lanjie and said, "Wang Jian has decided to formally establish a country and proclaim himself the king, right?"

"Yes, he had not made up his mind at first, but after seeing the credentials given to him by the king, he finally decided to completely abandon the Qin Dynasty and establish himself as king. He now controls an area with a radius of thousands of miles and has thousands of people under his command. There are millions of soldiers capable of fighting. If the whole people is mobilized, the number will exceed 100,000, which is a force that cannot be underestimated. However, although the economic situation is good, the weapons and other aspects are not satisfactory, and the soldiers are relatively simple. "Helan. Shortcut.

"Yeah!" Gao Yuan nodded, "What do Wang Jian have in mind?"

"Wang Jian wants to form a brotherly alliance with our Han Dynasty and sign a treaty of non-aggression forever. Under this treaty, he is willing to do something for our Han Dynasty." He Lanjie said.

Yan Shenghao sneered, "He had a good idea. He didn't even think about forming an alliance of brothers. Is he qualified? Isn't even his former master, King Qin, not qualified? It's just a barbarian land. It’s so whimsical, it’s really funny.”

"No, no, no!" Gao Yuan shook his head and said, "Now and then, if there wasn't the threat of Dashi in black, I really wouldn't have taken him seriously, but now, with his existence, he is also a good person. It’s our choice. Let him block these crazy black-clad predators for us. With him here, we big guys can breathe a sigh of relief.”

"Your Majesty, are you going to promise him?" Yan Shenghao asked anxiously.

"Yes, promise him." Gao Yuan smiled and said: "After he establishes the country, we Han are willing to sign an alliance treaty with him.

And gave him strong economic and military assistance. Let him stand in the way of those ambitious ones. Erecting a strong barrier outside our big men is a good choice. "

"Your Majesty!" Yan Shenghao wanted to continue to raise objections.

"Chief Assistant, that area is too far away from us, and there is a desert in the middle. With our current strength, we can indeed cross the desert, but it is a big problem for logistics and supplies. If we can fight quickly Shu Jue's words don't matter, but you have also read Niu Ben's letter and He Lanjie's statement. Wang Jian has already established a foothold there. If he goes to fight, it will definitely not be possible in a short time. It will be laborious and labor-intensive. Wealth, what is even more worrying is that the acquired land is still a piece of hot potato. Since those black-clothed predators have discovered such a fertile land, they must not give up. Hehe, now I I don’t want to face them head-on yet. Anyway, just look at it. In a few years, that area will be in flames, and there will be no peaceful days. Instead of doing this, let Wang Jian and the others take care of it first. " Gao Yuan shook his head and said. "Even if we want to take over this land, we have to wait until we clear all the obstacles in the Central Plains, accumulate enough strength, and have the strength to defeat those black-clad predators in one fell swoop until they dare not look at them again."

"The king values ​​them so much?" Yan Shenghao was a little shocked.

"The outside world is very big." Gao Yuan stood up and said slowly: "Not only are there these big cannibals, but there are also more powerful enemies. Our territory is getting bigger and bigger, and the navy is everywhere on the sea. One day , I will meet them. Now, I don’t want to contact them prematurely.”

"I understand. Your Majesty wants to make peace at home first, and then fight against the outside world. He will work hard on internal affairs and accumulate strength. If he doesn't move, he will be a thunderous force." Yan Shenghao suddenly realized, "In this way, let Wang Jian take the lead first. It’s actually a good choice, if Wang Jian can fight with the opponent and hurt both sides, it’s also a good choice.”

"With our strong support, I think Wang Jian will at least not lose. The more lively the fight between him and his opponent will be, the easier it will be for us in the future." Gao Yuan said with a smile.

"How do you respond to Wang Jian's request to meet you?" Yan Shenghao shook the materials in his hand and asked.

"See, why don't you see me? Chief Minister, please reply to this letter and tell Wang Jian that I will be waiting for you in Jishi County in March next year." Gao Yuan said with a smile.

"I'm afraid he doesn't have the guts to come." Yan Shenghao said with a smile.

"Wang Jian still has some courage." Gao Yuan said with a smile: "This man was born at the wrong time. He met my nemesis. Otherwise, this man would definitely be able to do great things. Of course, he is not bad now. He will definitely come. Besides, isn't his father Wang Xiao's body still buried by Dayan Lake in Jishi County? This time he comes, he can also pay homage to his father. "

"Understood."

Gao Yuan looked at He Lanjie and said, "You have traveled thousands of miles and you have worked hard all the way. Go back and have a good rest for a while. The New Year is coming soon. If you wait until the New Year is over before setting off, I'm afraid you will have to make another trip."

"Sharing the king's worries and serving the great man, there is no hard work that is not hard." He Lanjie stood up, "The general is used to running around, so he has not felt hard for a long time. When Yan Shoufu writes the reply, I will So I went back. I still want to spend the New Year with the commander and the brothers in the northwest, so that we can have more fun together. "

Gao Yuan laughed loudly, "It doesn't matter anywhere. Don't ride a horse when you go back. I'll ask Ye Zhong to arrange a carriage for you. It will be more comfortable this way. The roads from Jicheng to Jishi County are now in excellent condition." Now, when you get to Jishi County, you can ride back to Mengchi!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." He Lanjie stood up, said goodbye to the two of them, and left.

"Old Yan. After the new year, we need to allocate some additional funds to the Third Military Region. The road connecting the Third Military Region to Jishi County must be completed next year. This road will be very busy in the future."

"Now that Wang Jian's whereabouts has been discovered, and his strength is not weak, are we going to dispatch some regular troops to the Third Military Region? Commander, although there are hundreds of thousands of people, they can really go to the battlefield to fight. . There are only a few thousand people. If something happens, the fire from far away will not be able to save the fire nearby," Yan Shenghao suggested.

Gao Yuan walked back and forth in the room a few times, "It's not necessary for the time being. Helan has thousands of brave and capable cavalry, and Zhao Xilie has one or two thousand infantry. These are enough to defend the northwest. How can Wang Jian have the strength now?" Coming across the desert again. What's more, he doesn't have a powerful enemy who is about to attack. Besides, since Helan already knows the situation on the other side, how can he do nothing, even if he is a dwarf? Another army will be trained. The central government just needs to give him a certain policy preference in terms of military supplies. "

"In that case, I will retire now. Go back and draft a reply to Wang Jian." Yan Shenghao stood up and bowed.

"Thank you for your hard work, Chief Assistant." Gao Yuan smiled and stood up to see him off.

He walked all the way to the door and looked at Yan Shenghao's retreating back. Gao Yuan turned to He Weiyuan and asked, "Is the matter over at Langya Pavilion finished?"

"Back to the king, it's over. The princess sent someone to ask about it earlier. Seeing that the king was still talking about things, she left. She left a message to the king saying that things were finished here, so she went back. It seems Very happy." He Weiyuan smiled.

"Of course I'm happy. I got a lot of money today for nothing. How can I not be happy? Come on, let's go and see how much we have knocked off those rich people today?" Gao Yuan said with a smile.

It was already past the third watch, but the lights were still bright in the backyard of the palace. Several women were sitting around, chattering excitedly. When Gao Yuan appeared in front of them, He Lanyan jumped up. stand up.

"Brother, I'm getting rich, I'm getting rich!"

"This money does not belong to you personally. It belongs to the charity foundation and will be used for business. Why are you so excited?" Gao Yuan said with a smile.

"Even if it's not mine, you can still be happy!" He Lanyan shook her pigtails and said with a smile, "Brother, how much do you think I would sell my scimitar and riding crop for?"

"Well, your knife is of good steel and should be worth a few hundred yuan. That riding whip is made of rarer materials, so it must be worth a thousand yuan." Gao Yuan touched his chin and chuckled.

"Hmph, I'll ignore you." He Lanyan pouted and said angrily, "Zhiyuan sold a knife for ten thousand."

"Hey, so your knife and whip sell for a pretty good price?"

He Lanyan suddenly smiled brightly again, raised two fingers and waved them in front of Gao Yuan, "Guess, guess."

"Okay, okay, stop making trouble." Ye Jing'er came over, "Yanzi's knife and riding whip were sold for 200,000 yuan. A Hun businessman from Jishi County bought them, saying that he would take them back to make The treasure of the town house.”

"You know what you are doing. Yanzi has killed countless people with this knife. If you keep it at home, it is indeed a magic weapon." Gao Yuan said. "How much did you gain in one night?"

"Unexpectedly, brother, do you know how much your set of armor, sword, and spurs sold for in total?" Ye Jing'er asked with a smile.

Gao Yuan shook his head: "It won't be more than Yanzi's knife and whip, right? Even if it is more, it won't be much more, right?"

"Wrong, your method is the most fiercely competitive, with almost no give-in. The Wu, Mei, and Cao families were all more competitive, but in the end it was the Ocean Shipping Company from Cangzhou that won the deal. The transaction price was 1.5 million yuan. ”

With a porridge sound, all the tea he had just drank spurted out. He Lanyan, who was standing in front of Gao Yuan, suddenly suffered a disaster and jumped away with a scream.

"One and a half million, are they crazy?" Gao Yuan murmured. (To be continued...)
