Chapter 667 Allies

Zhao Kuangyi is definitely a master of assassination. When he dealt with the Khitan tribes, he used this skill to the extreme, sow discord and secretly attacked, causing various tribes to fight, and then spent a little money to buy prisoners of war from the defeated tribes, as slaves, sell them to the mainland, and make huge profits.

Zhao Da can arrest tens of thousands of slaves every year. He can't do it by just fighting wars and searching the grassland for arrest. He is exhausted. Many times, Zhao Er is like the shadow of his elder brother, doing many bad things behind his back, and leaving for standard things, hiding deep in his body and reputation.

This time when he arrived in the Western Regions, the same was true. He first bribed the people of the Khitan tribe, then dressed up as an envoy, went to the Black Khanate, and pretended to form an alliance.

The Khitan is still a great power in the world, and it is definitely a great benefit to get the support of the Khitan.

Moreover, the Khitans also told the Satuk Khan seriously that the Han people did not use any magic, nor were they helping gods, but gunpowder!

They have mastered a powerful weapon, which is gunpowder!

The Khitan suffered a great loss in the hands of the Han people. They were willing to share the secret of gunpowder with the Black Khanate.

If Satuk Khan had read history books, he would have understood that when Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin, he carried the map of Yan State. Sometimes good intentions may not be good intentions!

But Satuk Khan obviously suffered the loss of studying too little. He felt that it was the Khitan who suffered the loss. Under the pressure of the Great Zhou, he thought of forming an alliance with him because he wanted to ask for it, otherwise how could he send precious gunpowder!

Satu Khan was overjoyed, and the shadow of failure even disappeared. He gased the fighting spirit, recruited soldiers, gathered forces from all sides, and wanted to destroy Yutian first, then the Guiyi army, and then the Central Plains!

He was full of ambition and good news came from Baghdad and other places. Although the Great Food Empire had no combat power as it was two hundred years ago, it was still enthusiastic about preaching. The two elders came to Talas with tens of thousands of soldiers who had their own swords and war horses and joined the battle sequence of the Black Khanate.

Satuk Khan was full of confidence. He decided to invite all parties to join forces to swear together and send a fatal blow to Khotan on his birthday.

On the school ground, Satuk Khan's two sons, the Xizhou Uighurs, Tubo, and tens of thousands of soldiers were all looking forward to the king's arrival.

But they waited for two loud noises in succession. At the gate of the city, Satuk Khan encountered assassination and his carriage blew up to pieces.

The king was covered in blood and fell from the car. He struggled and wailed in pain on the ground. When his subordinates rescued him back to the palace, he died of excessive bleeding.

As for the two elders who were traveling with him, their brains exploded on the spot, their chests penetrated and they died directly!

"Tender, still too tender!"

Zhao Er curled his lips, obviously not satisfied. Assassination has never been used for the first time, and the effect is the best. He only killed an old king and two irrelevant elders, which was really not very good.

If we can kill the Uighurs and Tubo people, that would be satisfying!

I think it is difficult to start the military camp, so I can only make it difficult.

Zhao Er felt that it was unsatisfactory, but Li Shengtian was very happy. He and Satuk Khan were old rivals and had fought for decades. Satuk Khan was originally a Turkic person, so he gave up his original belief in the tribe and converted to the sect of the Dashi Empire, so he became brothers with the Dashi and Persians.

The Buddhist Khotan became a pagan. Satuk Khan launched round after round of attacks, and Khotan suffered heavy losses. When Satuk Khan mentioned it, everyone gritted their teeth.

This old guy is dead!

Been blown to death!

This is retribution!

Li Shengtian made an exception and ordered the whole city to rest for three days. He even took out some cattle and sheep and gave it to the people in the city, asking everyone to pay tribute to the dead relatives and tell the undead in the sky the news of Satuk Khan's death.

Since the arrival of reinforcements from the Great Zhou Dynasty, good things have been made one after another, casting artillery, breaking the enemy's troops, enriching the national treasury, and strengthening the city walls. The power of Khotan has been rapidly strengthened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Li Shengtian's joy was beyond words, as if he was ten years younger, and his waist became straight.

...

"Senior brother, I don't think things are that simple!"

Brother Guo Xing held his shoulders and said to Zhao Er very seriously: "Satuk Khan's death is not the key."

Zhao Er rolled his eyelids and said, "What do you mean? Do you mean those two elders are more important?"

"Although I don't want to admit it, it seems that this is the case." Guo Xingge came into contact with several bearded scholars when he was in school.

They have strong attainments in astronomy, calendar, geometry, navigation, etc. Guo Xingge has learned his skills with them and has also read some of their classics.

"Senior brother, in the Central Plains, we emphasize seeking common ground. Even Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, completely different things can live in peace and serve as the foundation of our knowledge. But they are different in other places. They emphasize differences more. As long as they are different from themselves, they are enemies. Because of the issue of inheritance rights, they can argue with each other for hundreds of years and regard each other as enemies!"

Zhao Er was obviously not very interested. He clasped his ears and said, "I have been asking for trouble for decades of life. Aren't you asking for trouble for yourself?"

Brother Guo Xing smiled bitterly and said, "The problem is that others don't think so. Senior brother, I think you stabbed the hornet's nest!"

Zhao Er also realized the seriousness of the problem. If the Great Food Empire really cared so much, perhaps the death of the two elders would arouse their anger and launch a larger war.

He assassinated King Black Khan to delay time. This goal should be achieved, but he provoked a bigger enemy... It seems that it is not a good thing!

Zhao Er smiled bitterly, "Well, let me know with your master and let him find a way to help the Western Regions more!" After Zhao Er said that, he ran away. Obviously, this guy was only responsible for digging holes and never burying them. Brother Guo Xing had no choice but to write a long letter to Ye Hua and told Ye Hua about the guess.

When Ye Hua received this letter, he was so angry that he was so angry!

This bastard Zhao Er is simply a scam that makes people die!

This is not just a hornet's nest, it's like a hole in the sky!

Originally, the Black Khanate called on the people of the Great Food Empire to join the battle in the name of religious wars.

Now that the deaths of two elders are the ones, he can do something even better. He can't help but fight this battle.

And the scale will exceed everyone's imagination!

Damn Zhao Er, you're just causing trouble for yourself!

"Call Zhang Wei to me!"

The next afternoon, Zhang Wei was exhausted and returned to Chang'an from Hanzhong. He didn't even drink any saliva, so he asked Ye Hua to call him over.

"I can only give you a year and eight months at most. If Shu Road cannot be repaired, you can come and see you!"

Zhang Wei was stunned. Isn’t this a life-threatening person?

Just as he was about to argue, Ye Hua added: "Also, I don't allow you to waste people's efforts and force the people to rebel. Besides, you must implement equalization of land as soon as possible. I need to increase the grain output of Bashu at least 30% and provide military rations to millions of troops."

After listening to it, Zhang Wei was filled with the desire to die!

He raised his neck and said to Ye Hua: "Mr. Marquis, forget it! He wants the horse to run away, and he doesn't give it to the horse. Even if you kill me, you can't do it!"

He looked generous and Ye Hua smiled, "Mr. Zhang, I know how many skills you have. Only you can do this, and only you can do it!"

Zhang Wei still had a tense face. He was not a person who would easily be fooled by flattery in just a few words!

"Mr. Zhang, now the official system reforms, there are many empty positions. In a word, you have completed it. I guarantee you to be the Minister of Works! How about the contractor of the entire Dazhou?"

Zhang Wei immediately had a dry mouth, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

"Mr. Marquis, is this true?"

Ye Hua laughed, "Mr. Zhang, Your Majesty will be in Chang'an soon. If you don't believe me, you can ask Your Majesty!"

"No, no!"

Zhang Wei waved his hand quickly. It was enough to have Ye Hua's promise, but he didn't expect the duck he had to fly away.

This guy is really a decisive person. He didn't stop for a moment and went back to Hanzhong directly.

Zhang Feng thought on the road that there was no other way. If he wanted to complete the repair in advance, he had to increase his investment. The people could not bear the exploitation, so he could only attack the wealthy families.

It just so happened that there was a matter of Juntian, so it would be impossible not to deal with the wealthy family!

"Hmph, don't blame me for being rude. It was Ye Hua who forced me, and I couldn't help myself!"

Zhang Wei completely tore his face. He seconded a group of officials from the capital, then mobilized the imperial guards and went directly to Sichuan. All migrant workers who participated in the construction of roads were given land according to their heads... After this order continued, Bashu was in a state of excitement. Without the need for the court to recruit, many people rushed to the construction site with shovels and picks. As for where the land came from, they didn't care.

"It's still true, Zhang Wei is much more courageous than Li Gu." Ye Hua was very pleased. He turned his gaze from the southern line to the northern line. Time waited for no one. Dangxiang's problem must be solved!

"Go and tell Li Guangrui that I want to see him. Within five days, get out to Yanzhou!"

The officials below grinned. This was the first time they met. They had something to ask for and were so arrogant!

"Mr. Marquis, is it a little more tactful and kind to comfort me?"

Ye Hua snorted, "I'm ready to be slaughtered, and I'm still saying good things? Is he Li Guangrui worth it?"
