Don't look at what Aldaban said is high-sounding, in fact, he thinks that the environment in that place is bad, and now it is cold, and he is not willing to go on this long trip. Because Vologis loved this little son, he believed his words, and casually pointed to a chamberlain beside him, and said, "Mu Ransui, you can take the Han envoy to settle it!" ”

Such an important matter, Vologis was handed over to an internal servant to do, Jia Xu couldn't help but be dumbfounded. In fact, this matter is very important in the eyes of Liu Xin or Jia Xu, and it is nothing at all in the eyes of Vologis. That land is not ceded out, but only leased, and who will deliver it?

But Jia Xu used his brain. After leaving the temporary palace of Vologis, Jia Xu immediately ordered someone to bring a set of exquisite porcelain tea sets to Mu Ransui. Mougin, who was named an attendant, was actually a slave, but by Vologis' side.

Such exquisite porcelain is also available in the palace of Living Logis, and Mougins was a little flattered when he knew that it was worth a lot, and said in a loud voice: "How can this be made? ”

Jia Xu smiled and said, "What's the matter?" It's freezing outside these days, and it's no better for you to follow us than to enjoy happiness in the palace, and you have to suffer a little, so this is what you deserve, and there's nothing to excuse. ”

When Mu Ran heard Jia Xu say this, he put away the set of porcelain with peace of mind, and the relationship between the two seemed to be much closer all of a sudden, and there was almost nothing to talk about along the way. Mu Ransui had been with Vologis for a long time and knew much more than the two women that Ardaban had given to Cai He, and Jia Xu soon learned many of the secrets of Parthia, but Mu Ransui was unaware.

After two days of arduous trekking, they finally reached the edge of the leased land marked on the map. Jia Xu did not delay, on the one hand, he sent soldiers to survey the boundaries and set up boundary monuments, and on the other hand, he sent scribes to various towns and villages to register household registration.

Because the maps at that time were very rudimentary, and the marked range was often 108,000 miles apart, the main task of Vologis and Mougin's entourage was to supervise the Han army to set up boundary monuments. However, Mu Ransui only knew about waiting for people, but he couldn't read the map, and he had just taken the benefits of Jia Xu, so he simply turned a blind eye and let the Han army set up boundary monuments at will, which could not be seen on the map anyway. As a result, the territory that Jia Xu actually accepted was nearly half larger than the original place demarcated by Liu Xin.

Once the boundaries are demarcated, it is not very difficult to register the household register. In the past two years, the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate has trained many interpreters who are proficient in various Chinese languages, and these people can complete this task well.

For the original people on this leased land, Liu Xin gave them the right to choose independently. They could decide whether to join the nationality of the Great Han or to continue to retain the nationality of Parthia, and no one would force them. And Liu Xin also gave them a one-year period, and within one year, they could decide whether they wanted to stay or go at any time.

However, the task of registering the family in this land is not onerous. It is relatively barren, with only a few small cities, and most of them are extremely backward villages, many of which are still in a state of tribal autonomy. These people couldn't figure out the difference between the Han and Parthia at all, but Liu Xin was not worried, he believed that after a year, these people would be willing to retain the nationality of the Han Dynasty.

In the city of Rome, Ptimius sat in his golden hall with a beautiful blonde maiden, enjoying the song and dance of the alien race and listening to his subordinates report on the situation on the Parthian side.

Because the weather was getting colder and no longer suitable for large-scale battles, Ptimius had to temporarily withdraw his army to Rome, but he did not relax for a moment the idea of conquering Parthia, so he sent many small works to Parthia, and almost every day news about Parthia came back to Rome.

This hall has been specially designed, and the ground is paved with fire dragons, even if it is cold and snowy outside, the inside of the hall is still warm like spring. The beautiful maidens dancing in the hall were all taken by Vologis from the Parthian palace, and the maiden in his arms was none other than Vologis' youngest daughter, Humina.

Whether it was Hu Mina or those dancing girls, they were only wearing a thin silk shirt, and their graceful figures were exquisitely prominent, and the fine work who came to report couldn't help but swallow his saliva with a "grunt".

"Something that doesn't make a living!" Putimius gently pinched Humina's soft waist and mocked, "Why, how many days have you not seen a woman?" Say, what news was brought. If the message is valuable enough, she's yours! ”

Since Humina was exiled to Rome, she has been humiliating and humiliating, but she has also won the favor of Putimius. Unexpectedly, Putimius casually wanted to reward her to a lowly servant, and immediately began to cry, shaking Putimius's arm with all his might, and called out: "Your Majesty, you ......"

"Less nonsense!" Putimius slapped Humina's plump buttocks, turned to the thin man, and said, "Tell me, what the hell is the news!" ”

Xiaozuo glanced at Humina in Vologis's arms, who was even more enchanting than those dancing girls, couldn't help but cheer up, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the Parthians have just received a large number of armor, and the villain inquired in many ways, only to know that it was provided to them by the Han people. ”

Although Vologis' temporary palace was not as heavily guarded as the city of Tessie, it was not something that anyone could approach casually, so Jia Xu would display those armors publicly, not wanting to be heard by Daqin's meticulous detectives.

"She's yours, get out of here with her!" When Putimius heard the news, he was furious and threw Humina to the ground in his arms, and said to his two sons, Caracalla and Gaita, "Quick, gather all the generals!" ”

The fine worker dragged the frightened Humina and ran away, and the poor Parthian princess was rewarded as a prize by Ptimius. For that fine worker, he also took a great risk when he heard these news, and now that he has returned with a beauty, he will naturally not be polite. In fact, it was precisely because of Ptimius's abundant rewards for the army that the soldiers were particularly brave in battle, and half of the gold, silver, jewelry, and young women he had captured from Ctesiphon were distributed among his sergeants.

Soon, the high-ranking officers of the city of Rome gathered at the royal palace. The current Great Qin is completely controlled by the military, and is full of a belligerent atmosphere, even the two sons of Putimius, Caracalla and Gaita, are no exception, and they also have a very strong desire for power, which is quite the true biography of Putimius.

Before Ptimius could make a statement, Caracalla had already stood up and said loudly: "Father, if the Great Han dares to aid Parthia, that is the enemy of our Great Qin!" The child asks for an expeditionary legion to smash the Han and let them see how powerful our Great Qin is! ”

In fact, Caracalla was well aware that Ptymius had waged a war against Parthia in order to plunder the mouth-watering riches of the Great Hans. Now that the Great Han had come to the aid of Parthia and was giving Ptimius a reason to send troops, Caracalla was simply speaking out about Ptimius' thoughts in order to win Ptimius's favor. The law of the Great Qin Empire, the throne may not only be passed on to the eldest son, Caracalla wants to fight for this position, so he naturally has to behave well.

Over there, Gaita also hurriedly said, "Father, please let the child lead the army!" ”

Putimius laughed and said, "Good! Worthy of being my sons, all of them are brave and good at fighting. I will hand over these eight legions to you, and each of you will lead four legions, and whoever is the first to attack the capital of the Han people will give him the land of the Han people to govern, and he will be the governor there! ”

Both Caracalla and Gaita were excited, and they were each gearing up for a big fight. It's just that those officers know that the ice and snow are now blocking the road, and it is really not the time for war, so they have spoken out to persuade them, and finally it is up to Putimius to make the decision, and send troops to Parthia again after the beginning of spring next year.

Also in order to compete for the right to inherit the throne, the two brothers Ardaban and Arshak of Parthia did not know how to fight for status by establishing military merits, but instead engaged in small actions in private. Ardaban was close to the water, and he didn't know what good things he said in front of Vologis, so he kept all the best of the Han aid armor for himself, and many of the defective armor given to Arshak were simply broken by him. Arshak was also not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the Ekbatan he controlled was the great granary of Parthia. Now is the critical period for Ardaban to recruit troops, but he has been holding on to the grain and grass for a long time, which makes Ardaban angry, but helpless.

At this time, although Jia Xu has been staying in the Han Concession, he has not forgotten to pay attention to the situation in Parthia for a moment, especially now that he has Mougin's internal line, he knows the situation of Parthia well. Knowing that such a situation was in Parthia, Jia Xu couldn't help but be worried, and hurriedly ordered someone to brave the wind and snow to send the information to Chang'an.

Jia Xu wanted to go back to Chang'an in person to report to Liu Xin, but this Han concession was extremely wide, almost equivalent to one-third of the entire Western Regions. In fact, Liu Xin only relied on the memory of his later generations to include the land belonging to Kowico, Saudi Arabia, and parts of Iran and Iraq more than 1,000 years later. In such a large place, Jia Xu has a lot of things to do, and he really can't leave for a while.

After receiving the urgent report sent by Jia Xu, Liu Xin pondered for a long time, waved his hand, and said, "It seems that it is inevitable to intervene by force in the war between Great Qin and Parthia. Otherwise, Parthia would definitely not be able to stop the offensive of Great Qin, and once Pathia was defeated, the leased land would be in danger. ”

Those who can sit in the hall and discuss matters are all people who understand, and everyone can hear it, the so-called armed intervention is to pull the bias, and Liu Xin must be helping Parthia. Tian Feng couldn't help but get up and said, "Your Majesty Shengming, it's just that the teacher is unknown, what can I do about it?" ”
