Chapter 1093 Yuan Shao’s Enemies
"It's finally over!" Chen Xi smashed his head on the table in the Government Affairs Office.
"Zichuan, are you sure this is okay?" Jia Xu looked at the list that Chen Xi had just relayed.
Everyone has a photographic memory, so there should be no problem with this kind of retelling, but the content on the list made him feel a little strange.
Especially the price of jade, how could it be so low?
Chen Xi rubbed his head. He had already slipped out to slack off, but he didn't expect that he would be called back to work overtime for such a reason.
"No problem. Didn't you see the price of silk? The demands of the two countries are always in conflict. I never thought that the Parthians would be so ruthless!"
Chen Xi would recall the other party's uncontrollable excitement after he offered double the price, which made him realize in an instant that the price was too low.
Later he found out that after Parthia was sold, the price more than increased tenfold, and it was still priceless. Parthia even did not give Rome good things.
The silk brought back by the envoys from the Han Dynasty could not even meet the needs of the elders.
Silk is more valuable than clothes. After it is made into clothes, it deteriorates at an alarming rate. Especially since the Romans like to wear it every day to show off, it deteriorates even faster.
Rome is willing to pay the price offered by the Han Dynasty, no matter how much is shipped.
From a certain perspective, maybe this thing just means that the price is better because the quantity is large.
As for jade, Rome could not understand the jade culture at all, so they simply gave it a high price in their eyes. In fact, in the eyes of the Han people, it was shockingly low.
However, this is also the meaning . Sharing what we have can make the economy flow well.
"When the time comes, let Sima Lang and Zhuge Jin take the lead and take those merchants to the commercial district over there. As for the army, there is no need to send it. Let Rome maintain order!" Chen Xi said casually.
"We don't send people to manage it?" Jia Xu frowned. He did not agree with Chen Xi's decision. This kind of commercial district still needs to be under his own hands, and enough people must be deployed there.
"It doesn't matter. Just make some concessions. Yuan Benchu and the others will take care of it and nothing will go wrong!" Chen Xi waved his hand.
"Have you decided?" Jia Xu put down the list in his hand, his face becoming more serious.
Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu still have considerable appeal even today, which has always been what Jia Xu was afraid of.
The Han Dynasty is doing well now, and Jia Xu does not want Yuan Shao to walk out of his house arrest alive.
If it weren't for Guo Hao's suggestion, Yuan Shao would have died in an accident.
Jia Xu has always been deeply concerned about Yuan Shao's unstable factor.
"It's decided. The Marquis of Wei, the Marquis of Wu, and the Marquis of Shu each have their own tasks. It may be difficult to pacify the Kushan Empire within ten years. We don't have extra manpower to deal with Rome. Now that I have obtained that piece of land, I don't want to give it up!" Chen Xi said calmly.
Rather than letting Rome or anyone else occupy it, they would rather give that place to Yuan Shao. After all, Yuan Shao was a minister of the Han Dynasty. Although he had evil ambitions, the slogan he shouted at the time was about clearing the court of corrupt officials.
This is also the reason why Yuan Shao has not died yet.
Many things didn't happen until they were made clear.
"..." Jia Xu remained silent. He wanted to object, but he had no power to object, or he had no position to object.
If Yuan Shao could get amnesty, then so could he, which would be a good thing for him.
What he did was no less than what Yuan Shao did. If Yuan Shao must be killed, the Yuan family would definitely take him with them.
Although self-preservation and even a bright future were at stake, Jia Xu still made up his mind.
"I don't agree!" Jia Xu shook his head. As the first strategist under Guo Hao, he had the qualifications.
Chen Xi was a little surprised, but he still took out a letter from the cushion on the ground and handed it to Jia Xu. This was a letter written to Jia Xu by Guo Hao after he discussed the affairs of Yuan Shao with him. It had been under Chen Xi's butt all along.
"I understand..." After reading the letter, Jia Xu's mental power shook slightly, and then he completely destroyed the letter in his hand.
He looked at Chen Xi deeply, and then walked directly towards the place where Yuan Shao was under house arrest.
"Tsk, people say that Jia Wenhe only wanted to protect himself, but now it turns out that it's all nonsense!" Guo Jia said to Chen Xi with a grin on his face.
"Go, go, go, inform all the young people. Parthia is the battlefield for them. Show off your abilities. If they have double talents, they should give it a try!"
Chen Xi pushed Guo Jia away and spoke to the official in charge of recording.
"Haha, I'm really looking forward to it!" Chen Xi looked into the distance.
This broken place of Central Asia will become the territory of aristocratic families, with hundreds of schools of thought contending with each other, but in the end, they will all be pioneers for the king.
After all, it is a place where poisonous insects are bred. Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng, Ardashir, Temujin, Cao Ang, Cao Pi, Liu Chan, Sun Quan, Yuan Tan...
They will all serve as nourishment for these young monarchs.
And not only the young people from the Han Dynasty and Parthia, but also Rome, Great Britain, and Kushan will send corresponding young people to fight.
For the four empires, nothing is more telling than the victory or defeat between young people.
Everyone, including the Han Dynasty, believed that there would not be another war of annihilation in the short term.
Or perhaps the war of annihilation of Parthia left other countries with lingering fears. Even with the powerful Roman army, it only won by three points in the face of three miracles. If Caesar had not intervened, Rome might have really been overturned.
Everyone is trying to find solutions to these problems, and the most reliable way is to use generation after generation to wear down the other side, while maintaining one's own strength, and waiting for the other side's own problems to erupt.
Therefore, it becomes particularly important to provide a stage for young people to gain experience. Even if this generation cannot do it, the next generation and the next generation will always be able to do it.
What's more, this is also to give everyone some buffer time.
Everyone had to share a share of Parthia's legacy. Even if the Kushans and Great Britain did not gain any benefits, the Parthian officers were good recruiting targets for them.
The Parthian officers who experienced the decisive battle would be upper-middle-level officers in any country, or officers who were not strong enough would not have survived to the present day.
For the Kushans and Great Britain, these were natural targets for recruitment, because both Rome and the Han Dynasty were enemies of Parthia.
Chen Xi has already seen that the war between Li Shimin, Cao Ang and others is just an appetizer. The real war is in the future, between Yuan Shao and Great Britain.
After Rome absorbed the nutrients of Parthia, Great Britain became the best hunting target, and Yuan Shao, who was located in Parthia, became a thorn in the side.
"Yuan Benchu, you should know what you will face. Now let me ask the questions, are you willing?" Jia Xu looked at Yuan Shao in front of him and asked this question calmly.
"It's better than spending the rest of my life here!" Yuan Shao smiled.
"I understand what he means. I will hold on until the Kushans fall!" Yuan Shao said with a sigh.
This is a pit, a pit that protects the Han Dynasty and shares the pressure for Great Britain, but for him it is the last straw.
"Here is the appointment letter. You must report to the Government Affairs Office within one month at the latest."
Jia Xu didn't say anything else. He just left after saying this.
Yuan Shao in this world is not incompetent and is still regarded as a pillar of the south by everyone.
Moreover, his eyes drifted behind Yuan Shao, where two generals stood.
When he saw these two people, Jia Xu knew that Yuan Shao could not die.
"Haha, one month? I want to see who can kill me!" Yuan Shao sneered as he watched Jia Xu's leaving back.
"Yan Liang, Wen Chou!" Yuan Shao called softly.
"I am here!" The two generals behind Yuan Shao clasped their fists and responded.
"My safety is in your hands!" Yuan Shao said calmly. He knew that many people would come to kill him by tomorrow night at the latest, no matter what their purpose was.
This is his disaster. If he can overcome it, he will be in office. If he can't, all his efforts will be in vain.
"Yes!" Yan Liang and Wen Chou responded with fists clasped. They had been prepared for this.
After Xu You handed the fragments of the Heshu Luotu to Chen Xi, he went to find Yan Liang and Wen Chou and explained everything to them.
So Yan Liang and Wen Chou gave up everything and ran directly to Yuan Shao to wait for him.
Many people broke off relations with the Yuan family, but there were also many people who still firmly followed Yuan Shao, including Shen Pei, Guo Tu, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou.
This is also the reason why no one took action against Yuan Shao. For the current Han Dynasty, man-made disasters are more terrible than natural disasters. If Yuan Shao died, even Jia Xu could not estimate the consequences, so they could only keep him alive.
It's night!
A group of uninvited guests broke into the manor where Yuan Shao was under house arrest.
"Who are you!" Yan Liang shouted, and chopped down with the big knife in his hand. A flash of knife light killed several uninvited guests.
It is now night, and although the cloud formation in Luoyang City has not been fully activated, it still has a strong suppressive power on these generals.
Yan Liang, whose full-strength sword could split mountains and rocks, could only leave a crack .
The uninvited guest did not answer, but rushed towards the house behind Yan Liang.
"Crack!" Yan Liang swept the Great Xia Dragon Bird in his hand and chopped the opponent, only then did he realize something was wrong.
"Wen Chou, these guys are puppets, be careful!" Yan Liang yelled.
"clear!"
Wen Chou swept the spear in his hand and directly smashed a row of puppets. These puppets were fast and powerful, but for the two generals who stood at the top of the Han Dynasty, they were not even a warm-up.
Tang Zhou smiled bitterly outside the manor. He himself didn't want to get involved in this muddy water.
The stigma on him is already bad enough, so he should avoid getting involved in these muddy waters if possible and just follow the general and preserve the happiness of the world.
But when he saw the gleam in the man's eyes, he realized that he had no choice.
He turned his head to look at the two people beside him, but he couldn't see their faces clearly. However, Tang Zhou knew that these two people were forced to be involved in this storm just like him.
"How many puppets do you have left!" someone asked in a cold tone.
"Three hundred!" Tang Zhou's expression remained calm. They all had the effect of twisting their wills on their bodies. It was cast by some god who had asked a god to do something. Even a god who could break through the world would not be able to see through it.
"Use it. There are more than just us around here. Let's set an example for them!" Another person sighed. He had no choice.
“How many people came today?”
Ji Ling in the manor had cold sweat on his forehead. Yuan Shu sent him to rescue Yuan Shao, but now he felt that today, not to mention saving Yuan Shao, he might even die here.
There were as many as fifteen boundary-breaking auras nearby, and he didn't dare to imagine where these people came from.
"Relax, they can't possibly use their full strength, there's still a chance!"
Zhang He had an unnatural smile on his face. The pressure was indeed too great. Yan Liang and Wen Chou were in the light while they were in the dark, but they could sense too many enemies.
There are only so many boundary breakers in the Han Empire. Even if there are masters among the people, all together, there are no more than fifty of them.
And now there are nearly fifteen boundary-breaking level beings outside, and this is just the beginning. He doesn't dare to think about what will happen next.
But there was no way, he decided to follow Yuan Shao after all. As the host, he could only say words to comfort Ji Ling beside him.
"Get out of here, all of you!"
After Yan Liang and Wen Chou chopped all the puppets to pieces, a rough and sturdy figure broke through the wall of the manor and rushed in.
"Wen Chou, I will stop him, you go back!" Yan Liang took a deep breath, and the Great Xia Dragon Bird slashed at the opponent with a tremendous force.
The opponent simply raised the mace in his hand and took Yan Liang's attack.
"I'll fight him, you guys can handle it yourselves!" The sturdy man roared, then swung the mace and hit Yan Liang on the head.
Yan Liang felt his hands numb. It was rare to see such a player who relied on pure strength. It did not require too many skills or too high speed. The sturdy man wielded the huge mace and smashed at Yan Liang's head.
As for Yan Liang's counterattack, he completely relied on the huge mace to block it. He did not compete with Yan Liang in skills at all, but only in strength.
Yan Liang knew that his opponent was definitely not using a mace. He had just changed his weapon and was trying his best to exert his strength.
"I hate guys who are born with supernatural powers!" Yan Liang speechlessly resisted the burly man's attack.
Even though he used the heavy sword technique, the opponent still hit him so hard that his hands were numb.
Twenty rounds passed, and the sturdy man was still waving the mace, with no sign of decline at all. It seemed that he was determined to smash Yan Liang into the ground.
Yan Liang wanted to kill the opponent directly, but his attention was attracted by the outside. It was easy to kill the strong man, but the blank period after the outbreak might lead to accidents.
So he would rather be hit himself and wait for the next development of the situation.
On the outer wall, several figures appeared one after another.
"There is a barrier in the house. We will stop them and you guys try to break it!" As they spoke, several figures fell directly into the inner courtyard and went straight to Ji Ling, Wen Chou and Zhang He.
