Chapter One Thousand and Thirty-Five: All Nations Come to Vote

Kang Guangde pondered, according to the current military power of the Tang Dynasty, Tingzhou, Yizhou, Guazhou, and Shazhou have been captured one after another, and the Han Navy will be rebuilt. Then the Beiting Duhufu and Anxi Dudu will definitely be restored in the future. The power of the Hufu will definitely lead to wars in the next few years. Since there is going to be a war, it is necessary to grasp the intelligence of the opponent. If he does some work in advance, he will definitely be rewarded by Datang.

"The first thing is to redeem the people of our Tang Dynasty. Without affecting this work, we can also investigate the military situation of various places and win over the leaders of various places. As long as there are results, I will definitely reward you! In the future, you may You can still be an official of my Tang Dynasty!" If he can do this, so what if he is given an official position? Anyway, the Western Region is so big that it can't be managed by Datang's own manpower alone. Datang has done this before.

"My little one, thank you, Lord Shouzhuo!" Doing business while being an official is also the habitual pattern of the Sogdians. Kang Guangde immediately thought of Kang Yandian, Shi Wannian, Kang Fu Yanyan, He Fudiyan, etc. who all had the title of city lord. The Sogdian giant merchant, his ancestors did not reach this point in the most prosperous time, and now the opportunity is in front of him.

"I'll go back and find someone, little one. When we get to Tingzhou, Shouzhuo will definitely come up with a plan!" Kang Guangde quickly agreed, and asked Shen Long some details, then hurried back to find his clansmen to discuss this matter.

His people also think the same way as him. It has always been the wish of the Sogdians to be a merchant and a giant. They had no choice when they were living in the Gobi desert. How could they miss this opportunity now? Is there any more promising career than being a merchant in the Beiting Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty?

So they agreed one after another, and quickly discussed a suitable way to report to Shen Long. They are professional in forming caravans, how to transport goods, how to trade with people, and how to deal with leaders from all over the world. Kang Guangde said clearly , And they even found out that there are many Tang people there now, and planned the business route accordingly.

Shen Long is very satisfied with his work, "Very well, after arriving in Tingzhou, I will have someone deliver the goods to you from Juliu City. You first use iron pans and peppers to explore the way, and in the future you may even have iron armor I can give it to you to sell!" This sale of iron armor is also particular.

It must not be sold to the enemies of the Tang Dynasty, it is best to sell to the enemies of the enemies of the Tang Dynasty, especially those tribes that have been squeezed by Tubo and Ge Luolu. Once their strength becomes stronger, they will definitely rise up and resist. Luolu caused huge troubles, and relying on their strength alone would definitely not be able to deal with Tubo and Ge Luolu, so relying on Datang became their only choice.

"Iron armor?" The Sogdians were also engaged in the arms trade. They sent weapons made of Uzi steel from India to the Tang Dynasty. This kind of steel was called iron in the Tang Dynasty, and it was deeply loved by the generals and nobles of the Tang Dynasty. Of course, Kang Guangde understood The profit and political significance of this, "the small ones will carefully select reliable tribes before selling them."

From the military point of view, the significance of iron armor is much higher than that of swords made of Utz steel.

If he could provide the iron armor, he would definitely become the guest of honor of the small countries. When he thought of the scene where the city lords and kings of those small countries begged him to sell the iron armor to them, Kang Guangde was so happy from ear to ear.

"A few times ago, you went to inquire secretly to see if those city lords and kings have this need, and then tell me about it, and then we will consider whether to sell them the iron armor." This task is of great significance, Shen Long can't give it all To Kang Guangde.

This is also due to the fact that he is a Sogdian. The small patrilineal family system prevails among the Sogdians, and there is no big family system. When a man becomes an adult, he must leave the family and go to business to make a living; therefore, despite the large number of Sogdians on the Silk Road , wide distribution, and great influence, it can only establish a series of small countries, but there is no way to establish a big country like Uighur, Tubo, and Dashi.

So let them deliver the iron armor, Shen Long is more at ease, they will not hide a large amount of iron armor to build their own powerful country, and cause trouble for Datang, as for whether they will establish a small country like Kang and Shi Well, Shen Long didn't care much, anyway, there were already enough small countries in the Western Regions, and he didn't care about adding a few more.

And because the Sogdians lived on the trade on the Silk Road, they must be close to the Tang Dynasty. In the past, countries such as Shiguo were loyal vassal states of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions, and they fought for the Tang Dynasty many times.

Of course, among the Sogdians, it is not that there are others. Shen Long does not want to see people like An Lushan and Shi Siming, but according to his careful observation, Kang Guangde does not have such ambition and quality.

Discussing various details along the way, Kang Guangde finally completed the details when he arrived at Tingzhou City, the prefecture of Beiting Duhufu, and Shen Long had already sent messengers to Juliu City, asking them to deliver supplies, As soon as Kang Guangde arrived in Tingzhou City, he took these goods and set off immediately without taking a rest.

Seeing that Shen Long and the others came back safely, Guo Xin went out of the city to greet them in person. After Shen Long's army went out, he brought his troops to Tingzhou to sit in town and personally guarded the back road for them. Coming to the territory of Beiting Duhufu is somewhat against the rules, but now Datang only has this little power left in the Western Regions, so he really has to be careful.

After hearing Yang Xigu's account of the attack on Tubo and Shatuo, Guo Xin was very envious, "It's a pity that Ben Duhu couldn't fight with Yang Duhu. Had such a victory.

"Don't be impatient, the king of the county. Next year, Jie Yujiasi invited me to attack Ge Luolu together, and then we will have to rely on the king of the county." Yang Xigu said with a smile, Qiuci is not far from Ge Luolu, and Anxi four Shule and Khotan in the town are still in the hands of Ge Luolu, Guo Xin will definitely be indispensable in next year's battle.

"Haha, let's go back to Qiuci in a few days and make preparations!" Guo Xin was very excited when he thought that the territory of Anxi Duhu Mansion would soon be returned to him.

"Oh, by the way, although Yang Duhu has traveled all the way, he can't rest right now. Now the city of Tingzhou is full of aliens who come to join us in the Tang Dynasty. Yang Duhu must be dealt with carefully." Guo Xin added .

It turned out that since the news of the continuous victories of the Tang Dynasty and the Uyghur coalition forces spread, the nearby tribes and small countries immediately realized that the Western Regions were about to change, and they began to habitually want to attach themselves to the Tang Dynasty.

"Haha, Wan Guo came to vote, this is what my Tang Dynasty should be like!" Yang Xigu stroked his beard and laughed.
