Chapter 1218

Zhang Xiu's army stayed at the border of Dunhuang County for less than half a month before setting out. Before that, Gan Ning, Zhao Yun and others had already entered Dunhuang. Zhang Xiu stayed because she had to deal with all the captive slaves.

The slaves of more than 100000 people are not a small number.

Batch after batch of slaves were sold and sent back home.

Batch after batch of slaves were replaced with real gold and silver, as well as mountains of grain.

With food and money, military officers and men who should be rewarded have already begun to be rewarded, and those who should be given pension have begun to receive pension. The whole army of the Qin Dynasty was jubilant. Especially for the soldiers fighting in the front line, Zhang Xiu started to pay rewards in the rear, which was even more inspiring and made the generals and officers of the army celebrate.

After everything was handled properly, Zhang Xiucai led the team to continue on their way.

Zhang Xiu was accompanied by a small number of troops, that is, more than 3000 people, including Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Pang Tong and others. After they entered Dunhuang, because all the counties and places in Dunhuang had been taken, they had a smooth journey.

It's still hot in July.

But at night, the temperature also dropped a lot, not as hot as before.

Zhang Xiu arrived at the western border of Dunhuang county and settled down in Dunhuang county.

Dunhuang county is the seat of Dunhuang county.

It is located in the westernmost part of Dunhuang county.

Zhang Xiu camped outside the city, but did not enter the city. After meeting with Ganning and Zhao Yun, he immediately raised his account to discuss the matter. He called Zhao Yun and Ganning together and asked, "now that the army is stationed in Dunhuang, how much do you know about the situation of the Western Regions?"

Gan Ning said: "tell your majesty, although all the countries in the western regions have been wiped out by Kushan. But in fact, all these countries in the western regions have their own lineage to escape. So to stir up the situation in the western regions, we can start with these people. "

Zhang Xiu said, "where are people?"

Gan Ning replied, "they are all in the city. They all live in Dunhuang."

Zhang Xiu, with a soft expression, said, "if that's the case, I'll see you. Ganning, you immediately arrange for your attendants to send orders. I'll be in the camp waiting for their arrival. "

"Here it is

Wang Yue was ordered to arrange it immediately.

Gan Ning said: "Your Majesty, these people from the western regions have actually settled down. They don't have much power now. So now, we just need our support, and these people will certainly be obedient. "

Zhang xiudao said: "I'll wait and see!"

"Newspaper!"

At this time, Wang Yue stepped in.

Wang Yue came to Zhang Xiu and said, "Your Majesty, there are a group of people from outside the camp. They are all princes and nobles of western regions. These people came together and asked to see your majesty. "

"Xuan!"

Zhang Xiu gave an order.

When Wang Yue got the order, he immediately went to inform him.

Soon, a group of people with different clothes, even different skin color and dress, entered.

With a cursory scan, Zhang Xiu entered at least 50 people. In particular, as soon as these people entered, the originally quiet Chinese army tent suddenly became as noisy as a vegetable market.

Zhang Xiu's eyes passed by, but she didn't stop it.

Let these people be noisy.

He wants to see how noisy these people will be. When Zhang Xiu didn't speak, the princes and nobles of the western regions had not found anything unusual for a while. They were still chatting and talking in their own way, which was very lively. But as time went by, after a while, these people found that Zhang Xiu had not spoken.

At this moment, the big tent suddenly quieted down.

Everything was quiet again.

A pair of eyes, fell on Zhang Xiu, and even on many faces, this moment no longer the previous calm, but on the face more uneasy and worried. After all, they are all people who have lost their country.

The corner of Zhang Xiu's mouth rose and said, "why don't you tell me? Good, since we don't talk about it. Now, it's up to me. What can I do for you when you come to see me together? "

As soon as the words came out, many people were ready to speak.

After all, there are more than 50 people.

However, before they spoke, Zhang Xiu raised her hand and pressed down, motioned for everyone to be quiet, interrupted everyone's plan to speak separately, and continued: "there are too many of you, so you don't have to speak individually. Now, you name one person to represent all of you and express your opinions. "

People from all over the western regions frowned.

Some of these people in the western regions were strong, some were weak, and even some were just a small tribe. In particular, many people used to be hostile, distrusting and hostile to each other.

Under such a premise, it is difficult to recommend people.

Even many people started to argue.

At this moment, the Chinese army tent, which had just been quiet, suddenly became noisy again.Zhang Xiu is still in the dominant position.

He didn't stop the disputing people, but said lightly: "since you can't elect a representative, then you can step down. When do you recommend someone, come back to me. "

Zhang Xiu's words made the princes and nobles of the western regions tremble and panic. They are worried that now, Zhang Xiu does not buy, it will be very difficult.

So these people had disputes, but now, all of a sudden, they resolved the disputes and stopped arguing. All of them sought similarities and differences at this moment, and in a short time, they elected a representative.

This man's name is Ulman.

He was once a Duke of kuizi. After the Kushan army arrived at kuizi and destroyed kuizi, wurmanfu fled from kuizi and finally settled in Dunhuang.

After Zhang Xiu's army expelled the Kushan army, wurmanfu finally stood up.

He was about fifty years old, and his hair was gray.

But in the thin eyes, there was a twinkling of cunning light. He raised his right hand, put it on his chest, bent over to salute Zhang Xiu, and said, "Your Majesty, the emperor of the Qin Dynasty, wumanfu of the kuci Kingdom, on behalf of people from all countries in the western regions, pay a visit to your majesty."

Zhang Xiu said, "tell me, what are you here for?"

Urmanf said solemnly: "to report back to the emperor, we are willing to serve Daqin. Both the kuci Kingdom and other princes from Loulan, Wusun, Yanqi, Qiemo, Shule and other countries agreed that they should attach themselves to Daqin and respect Daqin as their sovereign state. "

After a pause, urmanf continued: "what we want is simply that Daqin can help us recover our country. In addition, give us some equipment so that we can equip some of our troops. Our request is that simple. "

Zhang Xiu heard that the corners of her mouth rose, and stirred up a sneer.

People in the western regions are very good at abacus. If they respect Daqin as the suzerain, they want to restore the country unconditionally. Even Zhang Xiu had to be equipped with weapons.

The people of the western regions paid nothing, but they got countless benefits.

Zhang Xiu is thankless.

This kind of thing, Zhang Xiu is not willing to do, hit swollen face filling fat thing, can't happen in Daqin.
