Chapter 113: Conditional Exchange (II)

And if Duan Ye said what about Dunhuang or another county, Bai Yin would take it for granted, but Duan Ye said it...... It's Gu Zang.

Gu Zang is the seat of Liangzhou, Bai Yin also has eyeliner in all parts of Liangzhou, and knows the soldiers, he can see that there is no accident, Lu Guang should be able to occupy the entire Liangzhou, then in this case, with Duan Ye's qualifications, it is impossible to be a martial arts guard, after all, Lu Guang and his henchmen are mostly Di people, Duan Ye is a representative of the Han people, no matter how much Lu Guang trusts Duan Ye, but there is a difference between relatives and relatives, and it is impossible for Lu Guang to easily disobey in terms of seniority.

That remark is also hinting at Duan Ye's ambition...... It's bigger than you think.

As if to confirm his guess, when Bai Yin looked up, a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Duan Ye's mouth, and he nodded slightly, Duan Ye didn't say anything, but Bai Yin understood everything.

This makes Bai Yin a little suspicious, following Lu Guang is with the strongest party, for Bai Yin it is a matter of course, and it has nothing to do with Duan Ye, Lu Guang probably won't look at Zoroastrianism now, people have an army of 100,000, Liangzhou is at their fingertips, and it is not bad for Zoroastrianism to be attached to a powerful faction.

But the problem is that Duan Ye is obviously ambitious, and he wants to go to the next level, which is troublesome.

Duan Ye seemed to see his hesitation, and said slowly: "Mr. Bai Yin, some things take time, take your time, take your time, I'm not in a hurry, you don't have to worry, besides, you and I cooperate, cooperation must benefit everyone, not harm each other!" ”

The meaning of this is obvious, Duan Ye does not deny his thoughts, but he also knows that Lu Guang is prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, and his power is strong, and it is definitely not something that can be done in three or two clicks, and Duan Ye is not a presumptuous person, and he clearly told Bai Yin that we will cooperate and will not let you help me do those things that should not be done.

Bai Yin was relieved, lowered his head and pondered, and said: "In this case, Bai Yin can trust Duan Ye, but Lord Duan's ambition makes Bai Yin admire, but with all due respect, you ...... After all, he hasn't sat in the position of the county guard! ”

Duan Ye knew that Fang Cai himself had said so much, he was fooling with the expectations of the future, and the people of the Central Plains would have been tricked a long time ago, but this white sound was from Persia, and it was very real, it seemed that he didn't see the rabbit and didn't scatter the eagle.

Duan Ye smiled: "Mr. Bai Yin still has any concerns, hehehe, when Zhang Meng first looked for you, I was just a small member of the army, and I didn't have any real power, I just dealt with some ordinary paperwork, at that time I dared to come to you, and I dared to boast about Haikou in front of you, fortunately, I came to see it today, I praised Haikou almost everything, and Mr. Bai Yin, tell me, did you expect me today!" ”

"This has never happened!" Bai Yin wasn't embarrassed. Although he really didn't think much of what Duan Ye said at the beginning, Bai Yin shrugged his shoulders and said calmly: "Then what do you mean!" ”

"What I mean is that you need to trust me, and you even need to gamble!" Duan Ye said confidently, just like when he was on the roadshow: "Your Zoroastrianism has meticulous and perfect teachings, your clergy are full of enthusiasm and profound knowledge, and in the beautiful land of the Hexi Corridor, there is no religion that has achieved absolute superiority, you still have a lot of space, the only reason why Zoroastrianism has not taken root is that it has not received the support of officials, and I, I am already an important person under the command of the Jiexia, do you think it is possible for me to become the kind of decoration without soldiers and no power in the past?" Impossible! ”

"Of course Bai Yin believes that Lord Duan's future is limitless, but ......" Bai Yin said carefully: "As far as I know, Lord Duan seems to have dealings with many religious leaders!" ”

"That's right!" Duan Ye said calmly: "But this is also normal, we Han people have a saying, you can't put all your eggs in one basket, otherwise you will be beaten with chickens and eggs, and it is too risky to just support you for me!" ”

Bai Yin was stunned, in his impression, many officials have always liked to play Tai Chi, always ambiguous in their speech, never give a positive answer, and there is always room for it, but when you are in front of you, it always seems that you are the only one, but behind the scenes you do a lot of small means, and this Lord Duan is so frank, which makes Bai Yin a little surprised.

"But think about it, there are millions of people in Hexi, so that millions of people can become your believers, is it possible? No way, even if it were possible, it is not what any sane politician wants, and for me, I would go to Manichaeism, to Buddha, to Taoism, to other religions, because I advocate freedom of belief, not mere me, not only to you, but to all other religions! ”

"It's the first time I've heard of that!" Bai Yin was silent for a moment and said with a forced smile.

Duan Ye knew that Bai Yin was still hesitating in his heart, so he didn't say more, but took a sip of the teacup, just after saying so much, he was also a little thirsty.

After a long time, Bai Yin smiled: "What if I choose to support you?" ”

"Support me, it's nothing more than people, money!" Duan Ye raised two fingers: "Money, of course, needless to say, now you are richer than me, and I need money whether it is cold power or opening up joints, this is the characteristic of officialdom, needless to say; And people, your followers, in due course, I wish to join the army! ”

Bai Yin thought about it, then nodded and agreed, paying money is expected, anywhere, as long as you cooperate with the government, it is inevitable to take money to eliminate disasters, this is a universal truth, as for joining the army, Duan Ye also said: "At the right time", there is a lot of knowledge in this, when it is appropriate, it can be discussed again.

"But it's a long-term thing!" Duan Ye put down the cup: "In the near future, I need your help with something, and this can be regarded as the beginning of our cooperation!" ”

"Please speak up, Lord Duan!" Bai Yin was a little nervous, now there are three forces in Liangzhou, but he can't afford to offend either side.

"Hehehe, don't worry!" Duan Ye saw Bai Yin's concerns: "I won't let you do something too difficult, however, the specific details can't be said yet, because the time is not right, I only hope that Mr. Bai Yin can prepare some masters who are good at assassination, and you Zoroastrians should not have less such people!" ”

"But that's fine!" Bai Yin was relieved a lot when he heard it: "Then I'm ready!" ”

"In the first six hours of the operation, I'll send someone here to find you, how's that?" Duan Ye raised his eyebrows.

"No questions!" Bai Yin nodded and agreed: "Everything is based on the convenience of adults!" ”

Speaking of this, it was almost the same, but Duan Ye was curious, so he suddenly asked a question: "Mr. Bai Yin, looking at your demeanor and demeanor, you are definitely from a noble background, I don't know which family you are from?" ”

Most Westerners don't mind revealing their family, on the contrary, most of them take it as a great honor, Bai Yin said calmly: "I come from the side line of the Ahemmenides family, and the Ahemmenides family was the ruler of the Persian Empire before, of course, the family fell after Alexander's crusade, but my ancestors were fortunate to escape the massacre, many years later, the remnants of the tribe are distributed throughout the world, from Iberia to Rome, from the Black Sea to the Euphrates, from Persia to Guzang, there are our people in the world, and, They are all faithful believers in the God of Light! ”

Duan Ye carefully recalled, at this time, there should be more than ten years before the division of the Roman Empire, that is to say, although the Roman Empire is already surviving, but after all, it is still barely maintaining unity, which seems to have many favorable factors for himself?

Thinking of this, Duan Ye took the opportunity to say: "Since your family also has a long history and glorious past, I think your family still has a lot of say in the West!" ”

Bai Yin smiled and nodded reservedly, and it was precisely because of the family's support and his own interest that he came to the far east to carry out this great and sacred cause.

"Then I think we can continue talking!" Duan Ye sat up straight: "The Silk Road is basically still unobstructed now, so I think it is necessary for me to send someone to Constantinople and Rome!" ”

"Are you going to send your caravan, Venerable Lord Duan!" Bai Yin was a little surprised, he still had to do business at this time. Although it is not surprising to the officials and businessmen in the West, but in his impression, there are not many officials in Middle-earth who take the initiative to talk about this, and they always have to find an agent: "If this is the case, from Qiuzi all the way to Persepolis, my family still has some influence and can help you, and further west, the forces are complicated, I am afraid it will be ......."

"It's a caravan, but it's not just about doing business!" Duan Ye shook his fingers: "As far as I know, now the Goths have begun to invade the Roman Empire. Although the Roman Empire was still able to hold its ground for the time being, the Gauls, Vandals, and Anglo-Saxons in the territory were ready to move, and now Constantinople was ruled by Gratian and Theodosius, but Rome was ruled by Valentinian II. It's thousands of miles away, but I still feel like I need to talk to them, you see? ”

Bai Yin was shocked, he never thought that Duan Ye would actually plan to send someone to meet the ruler of the Roman Empire. Although their Zoroastrianism originated in Persia. Although they have always paid lip service to the Persian Plateau as the center of civilization, because it is the homeland of Zarathustra, Bai Yin knows in his heart that for 400 years, the real center of the entire West is Rome, and since the city of Rome became the capital of the Roman Republic and even the Empire, it has never been breached, and it is called the Eternal City.

It is precisely because of this that even if the Roman Empire is stormy, it is still the center of the world in the minds of Westerners, and the ruler of the Roman Empire is the leader of the world, but Duan Ye, who only wants to be a legion commander in the West, actually wants to send people to meet the four rulers of the Roman Empire, what is the matter.
