The Wei army and the Roman army stayed here for a night, and the next morning, the scouts who entered the hills reported that the Roman army brigade had already spread north.

Cao Cao and Seth immediately decided to continue the pursuit, but at this moment, the entire hill was ablaze, and half of the sky was stained red by flames.

Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh in the face of this monstrous flame. The order was then given to the return of the army.

Two hours later, the Wei and Roman armies returned to the almost ruined city of Nissa, and the atmosphere between the Wei and Roman armies was a little awkward, and it was clear that the Romans were haunted by what Ma Chao had done to them not long ago.

On the same day, Cao Cao and Seth had a brief consultation at the Zhizhi Office, and reached an agreement on the ownership of the city of Nissa and the fate of the two armies, and the city was returned to Vesudeva, the rightful king of the Kushans, and the armies of both sides retreated to the point of departure, leaving only one army to temporarily garrison the city of Nisa until the Kushan army took over.

The two sides are not worried about the Jin people coming back, unless the Jin people still want to confront the two empires of Rome and the Great Wei, at least for a short time, the Jin people will not have such arrogant thoughts.

The next day, Cao Cao led the main army, and the 50,000 soldiers of the Xiongnu army temporarily stayed in the city of Nisa.

Half a month later, the army returned to the fortress of Green Ridge, and as soon as it arrived, the envoy of Vesudeva also came, and the envoy of Vesudeva first expressed his heartfelt agreement to Cao Cao, and then presented a tribute list, and declared that he hoped to become a vassal of Great Wei.

At about the same time, Vesudeva's envoy also expressed the same appeal to the Roman general Seth, Vesudeva has no way now, he has no capital to call any powerful country at all, and his current task is to quell the rebellion set off by the great prince and his former favorite concubine Hilpa, but the prospects are not optimistic.

Huang Xu, the general of the Jin State who returned to the Huathornzimo Mountain Range, received an order from the country, Huang Huang arranged the defense of the mountain range, and hurriedly embarked on the road to the imperial capital of the Jin State, and Huang Huang's heart was full of worries and worries about his fate, because the order he had just received was extremely harsh.

Cao Cao came to the council room, and at this time Xi Zhicai and the others were already waiting.

"See Your Majesty!" Everyone saluted!

Cao Cao nodded and asked, "How is the matter of the bereavement done?" ”

Xi Zhicai replied: "The cabinet has sent a letter, and the bereavement of 200,000 casualties has been arranged!" It's going to be all done this year! ”

Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction and advised: "The matter of the soldiers' pension is very important, tell Wen Ruo that they must not make any paper leaks!" ”

"Command! Your Majesty, there is another thing, if they send a letter to report, there seem to be signs of instability in the Jiaozhou area! ”

Cao Cao was stunned, "Jiaozhou? That wild land? ”

Xi Zhicai nodded, "Although Jiaozhou has been incorporated into the Central Plains as early as the pre-Qin period, the Central Plains' control over it has always been very weak, the local barbarians are in a dominant position, and these barbarians are composed of many relatively independent and even hostile tribes, and the social situation is very complicated, plus we brought a million Fusang people to Jiaozhou not long ago, the situation there is even more complicated, in addition, Jiaozhou is vast and sparsely populated, the environment is extremely harsh, and there is a miasma everywhere, some oppose us, The people of the Yangzhou family who wanted to restore the previous dynasty seemed to be hiding in it, and the scholars of Jiaozhou seemed to have some connection with those people! ”

Cao Cao frowned, his fingers habitually tapped a few times, the scholar family in Jiaozhou is Shixie's family, this person seems to be unknown in the Three Kingdoms period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, like a passerby, but in fact he is the uncrowned king of Jiaozhou!

He not only wrote four books, "Shi Xie Ji", "Spring and Autumn Jing Commentary", "Ram Commentary", and "Gu Liang Commentary", but the Shi family was a powerful local force at that time, Shi Xie and his three brothers led four counties, accounting for more than half of the territory of Lingnan.

In the history of Lingnan and Vietnam, Shixie's prestige was extremely high, and he was not under Zhao Tuo, even if Sun Jian was conquest at the beginning, he did not completely and truly occupy Jiaozhou!

Until now, although Jiaozhou is under the leadership of the Great Wei, due to its geographical significance, its control is not large!

"Zhicai, what do you think we should do?" Cao Cao asked.

"Your Majesty, the first thing to do is to closely check the people entering and leaving on the main road from Jiaozhou to other places."

Xi Zhicai smiled and continued: "Your Majesty, the general is the nominal leader of the barbarians in the south! ”

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and then he said with some embarrassment: "Let Zhu Rong return to that wild place?" ”

Of course, Xi Zhicai understood Cao Cao's worries, "Your Majesty, in fact, you don't have to worry about the safety of the captured general, after all, it is her hometown, and the strength of the Zhurong clan is the strongest among the southern barbarians, and the general is still the commander of the barbarian army, not to mention that Your Majesty can send a royal forest army to accompany you to ensure that nothing goes wrong!" ”

Cao Cao thought for a while, and finally chose the world between the world and the beauty, and nodded in agreement, but Cao Cao decided to wait until he returned to Chang'an to carry it out.

The internal fighting of the Kushan people continues, but both sides are exhausted, the current situation is that Sukesa's Xizhen army is blocked more than a hundred miles west of the capital of the Kushan king, and has obviously lost its enterprising spirit, and the Dongzhen army and the Beizhen army are also in a stalemate, the Dongzhen army is guarding the core town of Kushan East, and the Beizhen army occupies Dhaka, which is located more than 100 miles west of Shenmo, and is the provincial capital of one of the eastern provinces.

Both sides of the infighting seem to have the meaning of a truce.

For this, Cao Cao didn't care, the two great powers that once shocked Central Asia and dominated the Silk Road, Rest and Guishan, are now yesterday's yellow flowers, not to mention Rest, Guishan is now divided into two, and the national strength has declined sharply, and there is no ability to threaten Great Wei at all!

On the contrary, Cao Cao paid more attention to the Jin State, which was composed of dead slaves in the north, after all, the territory of the two countries bordered.

"Zhicai, is there any situation on the Jin side?" Cao Cao sat down on the main seat and asked with a smile.

Xi Zhicai replied: "There is nothing unusual on our side, but the Caucasus Mountains are increasing troops!" ”

Cao Cao couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, "Conscription in the Caucasus? What do the people of Jin Guo want to do? Do you want to fight the Romans again in the Caucasus? No way! ”

Xi Zhicai smiled, "The people of Jin Guo should not take the initiative to attack, but to strengthen the defense in the direction of the Caucasus!" ”

"Hmmm! As it should be! Cao Cao nodded.

Xi Zhicai arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, now that the situation in Guishan's country has stabilized, the strength of Vesudeva and Yueduo is not much different, and neither side is powerless to eliminate the other, at least for now!" (To be continued.) )
