Chapter 998: Murong Shaozong's conspiracy
"Dugu Xin's Western Wei army has really undergone new tempering, and it is actually so powerful!" Murong Shaozong cried!
"General Murong! We can only defeat the enemy by clearing the wilderness! Otherwise, it's a rout! Can't fight in the field with the Western Wei army! It's easy to wipe out the whole army! Duan Rong said worriedly!
"Why? What is so powerful about the army of the Western Wei Kingdom? Murong Shaozong asked!
He remembered the past:
"My lord, if the Turks continue to attack, Chang'an City will be in danger!" Yang Zhong worried!
"Precarious!" Duguxin cried......
"So, we need to defeat the Turks in order to save the Turkic Khanate!" Yang Zhong cried......
"The Turks are not so easy to defeat!" Duguxin cried......
"Isn't it that easy?" Yang Zhong asked......
He remembered what had happened before:
"You Western Regions must not aid the Jiankun region!" The Turkic state roared......
The Turkic state remembered the past:
Li Hu's bazaar in Gaochangguo.
"What kind of cargo is this?" Li Hu asked Sogdian merchant A.
"It's crystal." Sogdian merchants said.
"The East China Sea of the Eastern Wei Kingdom also has crystals! Where is this crystal of yours? Li Hu asked.
"Your Excellency. Our crystals are Europa's. The Sogdian merchant said.
"That's it! So, how do you all get the goods here? Li Hu asked.
"Camels, or sea!" Sogdian merchants said.
"That's it!" Li Hu suddenly realized.
He thought to himself: Sogdian merchants are indeed human spirits! These crystals are obviously from the East China Sea!
"This is the jewel of the Egyptian pharaoh Thutmose III." Li Hu heard a businessman shouting.
"Haha...... The jewel of the pharaohs of Egypt. How is it possible to sell it on a street stall? Li Hu smiled.
"Master Li. It's all marketing tricks. Even if you have Chinese Longjing tea, in fact, there is not so much Longjing tea at all. But why can it be sold nationwide? Because most of them are fake! Sogdian said.
"Haha...... Or do you Sogdians know how to do business! This official is now ordered to inspect the Western Regions, hoping to revive the Silk Road and make the Western Regions prosperous again! Gaochang has also always been a powerful country in the Western Regions. If the king of Gaochang could allow the Western Regions to do business in Chang'an, then great things could be accomplished. Li Hu smiled.
"Master Li. However, the problem now is not economic. It's a political issue. If the Western Regions traded with Chang'an, was it international trade or domestic trade? The Sogdian merchant was surprised.
"Of course it's domestic! The Western Regions have been Chinese territory since ancient times! Li Hu said.
"So, can you Western Wei represent China?" The Sogdian merchant laughed.
"That's a problem!" Li Hu said worriedly.
"That's right! Nowadays there are three regimes in China, the Eastern Wei State, the Western Wei State, and the Liang State. They all claim to be Chinese orthodoxy. The Sogdian merchant laughed.
"However, only the Western Wei State is orthodox, and one day. The Western Wei Kingdom will definitely dominate the world! Li Hu said.
"Haha...... Eminence? Can you see this day? The Sogdian merchant laughed.
The next day, Wei Chi looked at the bazaar of Gaochangguo and thought: Gaochangguo is so rich, if it can completely conquer here, wouldn't it be possible to enrich the country and strengthen the army?
How much money can you make in business?
"Lord Weichi. Recently, General Li Hu seems to be only concerned with the business of the bazaar in Gaochangguo. Didn't do anything else at all. Sogdian merchant A said.
"How is that possible? Isn't he corrupt? Wei Chi asked him.
He thought to himself: Li Hu has always been greedy, he can't be a two-sleeved breeze! When pigs fly!
"Not really. He didn't ask us for anything! Sogdian merchant A said.
He thought to himself: It seems that Lord Wei Chi does have ideas. He's going to execute General Li Hu!
Let's talk about Li Hu.
He met with representatives of the Han Chamber of Commerce at the General's Palace.
"General Li Hu, I am Zhang Jiahe, the president of the Gaochang Guo Han Chamber of Commerce." Mr. Zhang said.
"Haha. Could it be that you are the famous Zhang family in the Western Regions? Li Hu asked.
"That's right! Our ancestors are the royal family of the former Liang Kingdom in the Western Regions. Zhang Jiahe said.
"My ancestors are also the royal family of Xiliang Kingdom." Li Hu said.
"Know! General Li is a famous general of the Han Dynasty and a descendant of General Fei Li Guang. Zhang Jiahe said.
"Yes! Li Guang is my ancestor. Li Hu said.
"General Li Hu, you should revive the country of the Han people. We want to support you! Zhang Jiahe said.
Li Hu thought to himself: The time is not yet ripe! Nowadays, the world is not peaceful!
Moreover, there is no Han group in the world that can revive the world of the Han people!
The Liang State has long been weakened!
Only the Western Wei Kingdom can revive the Central Plains!
"Nope! I am now a general of the Western Wei Kingdom. How can you commit the following crimes? Li Hu said.
He thought to himself: The Western Wei Kingdom is too powerful! Now I'm like an ant, I'm going to be crushed by the wheels......
"Haha...... General Li Hu, don't you have the blood of the Han people? Has the world of the Han people become the pasture of the Xianbei people? Zhang Jiahe roared.
Then, Zhang Jiahe drew his sword and shouted: "If it is today, you will not agree to our uprising." I'm going to die here! ”
"You know what? Based on what you've said today, I can let you die! Li Hu said.
"General Li Hu! I misread you! It turns out that you are such a soft egg, such a traitor! Zhang Jiahe roared!
His eyes have turned crimson!
He thought to himself: Why are the Han people bloodless anymore? Willing to be a slave of the Xianbei people? Riding horses and shepherding sheep for the Xianbei people?
"No...... I'm bloody! But to revive the kingdom of the Han people, this is not the case! It's about working with the Hu people! Since the Wuhu Rebellion, the Central Plains has been a mixed residence of Hu and Han. The Hu people and the Han people are already you have me, I have you! Li Hu said.
"That's also a traitor. Although you are a family among the Han people, you even have official positions. However, you are nothing but lackeys of the Hu people! Zhang Jiahe roared.
He thought to himself: Li Hu still refuses to revolt!
"The lackeys of the Hu people? Is it that serious? How is that possible? Li Hu roared.
He thought to himself: Zhang Jiahe is indeed a patriot! What a pity!
Now is not the time to recover the Han world!
"You are the lackey of the Han people!" Zhang Jiahe roared.
Let's talk about the situation over there in Chang'an!
Yuwen Hu and Su Sui are also investigating the case in the Western Regions!
"Li Hu has been a general in the Western Regions for the past few years. He should be rich. Yuwen Hu said.
"Haha...... Does the lord want to get rid of Li Hu? Su Sui asked.
"Of course. Li Hu was originally from the Xiliang royal family. He has a wealth that rivals the wealth of the country, and the combat strength of the army under his command is completely comparable to that of the imperial court! Yuwen Hu said.
"Huh...... It is impossible for the imperial army to defeat Li Hu's Xiliang army! Li Hu is a strong feudal clan at most. Su Sui said.
"Li Hu has the talent to go through the heavens and the earth! Moreover, he is a native of Xiliang. Dong Zhuo of the Eastern Han Dynasty is also from Xiliang! Li Hu's strength is completely above Dong Zhuo. If he rebelled, the Western Wei Kingdom would be in chaos! Yuwen Hu worried.
