The Book of Heaven

Chapter 143 Dog Nose

When the Da Yue Clan reached an agreement with the Han Empire, poor Ma Zheng became a victim.

However, Ma Zheng, a victim, did not have the consciousness of being a victim. He slipped away as soon as he got the news, without any psychological pressure.

The envoy of Da Yueshi in Chang'an was very angry, but the person who came to tell him the news ignored the envoy's anger at all, and just said indifferently: "Man, we have already wanted you, but since he can kill your Home City Lord, he must be very powerful. It is not so easy to catch such a powerful person. So, you can go back if you want, or stay in this fancy world of our empire, but we will not engage in reception. From now on, you will have to pay for everything you spend in Chang'an. From now on, you are just a foreign tourist. You must abide by the laws of our country. "

Of course, the officials of the Han Empire would express these meanings in very euphemistic words, but they would not give the envoy of the Great Yuezhi the slightest chance to refute.

Or it should be said that the central government has been a big country for hundreds of years, and officials from top to bottom have already been able to hold their heads high.

What is Da Yuezhi?If it weren't for some reason, any army of the empire would be able to flatten you. In fact, one of the biggest reasons is that these places are barren. At least at present, the empire has not found any useful resources in these places. Since Without resources, what's the use of spending a lot of effort to fight it down?
It is easy to defeat a country, but it is very troublesome to occupy and manage it. Not only is it troublesome, it also requires a lot of manpower and material resources to suppress resistance and develop the economy. If it falls, how can it be enjoyed by those people casually?

Twelve barbarians in the northwest, what the empire really cares about is the passage to the far west. The Silk Road has existed for thousands of years. As long as this road is in the hands of the empire, the trade between the empire and the west will continue to bring The high profits of imperial merchants brought huge taxes to the empire.

Maintaining the safety of this trade route is an important task of the empire's frontier army, and friction with the twelve barbarians in the northwest is another strategy of the empire.

A country cannot be without soldiers.

Soldiers have to practice.

Soldiers trained in the school field are naturally different from soldiers trained on the battlefield.It is impossible for the great Han Empire to have only one army standing on guard of honor. The endless frontiers need real elites.

There is nothing in the land of the Twelve Barbarians in the Northwest that is worthy of the empire's covetousness, but under the pressure of the empire, they developed their military power crazily and resorted to militarism, but they didn't know that they were doing so. , Even if there are battle losses, an elite army is just like this. At least the middle and lower generals have it. No matter how many ordinary soldiers are lost, when the empire needs it, an army can be pulled up in a blink of an eye.

It should be said that this strategy is not very secretive, it is basically a conspiracy, a conspiracy that the Northwest Twelve Barbarians simply cannot refuse.

Chen Bian, the army of the Han Empire, may I ask which country wants to be unified by the Han Empire?Those who are willing to be unified have already been unified, and they will not stay until now.Since those who have remained until now are unwilling to reunify, do they dare not expand the army?There are 10,000+ troops on the border, so I ask you if you dare to expand?
Expansion, it must be expanded, and the whole country is going to expand it. What about the expansion?

beat?
I don't have the courage.The population of the Han Empire was tens of millions, and the potential for war was huge. The stability of the country for hundreds of years not only created wealth, but also created population, males.Therefore, as long as the person is not brainwashed, he will not take the initiative to tease the empire. It would be better to just wipe his neck by himself.

As long as the empire does not attack aggressively, engage in some border frictions, and act as a sparring role for the imperial army, at least in your own small country, you can still be a ruler who promises everything. Basically, this is what the twelve barbarian emperors in the northwest today thought out.

Therefore, in the eyes of the imperial officials, an envoy of the Da Yuezhi is really nothing. Ma Zheng’s sacrifice is entirely due to the empire, or His Majesty the emperor himself wanted to save face, that’s all, otherwise everyone would know who really killed Nan Duo Tuo People are bullshit, how dare the Da Yueshi not mention it?
If he dares to mention it, he can guarantee that the Huang family will play tomorrow, and he will lead the army to visit the Blue Moon City of the Da Yue Clan. Well, it is definitely just a visit, and the Da Yue Clan will not be wiped out. The army will definitely not kill too many people. The most is to change the owner for Blue Moon City, just change the owner, and come back when it's done.

Don't say that the five kings with different surnames have no real skills, how can the five princes survive for hundreds of years?
It is not an easy task to challenge the five kings, because they stand tall, so many people are watching them all the time, such as the Li family in Longxi.

Because Li Bing is very unhappy as a city guard, any aspiring leader who manages a city with a palace will probably not be happy, so the Li family sees the Ma family as very unpleasant, and they will always think about it if they are not pleasing to the eye. The degree to which the Ma family was picked off, and then the family went to sit in this seat.

Unfortunately, Li Bing always felt that his life was basically impossible until Ma Zheng came to Tianshui City.

Because of a small Qing Dynasty official, the matter was escalated, and the two families basically made their debut. In the end, the Li family was temporarily honest after being slapped twice.

But no one expected that just when the Li family was about to die down temporarily, His Majesty the Emperor made up for it.

Ma Zheng, who was rewarded just now, became a wanted criminal, which made Li Bing wake up with a smile in his dream. This is a good repair, it really touched Li Bing's heart.

Immediately after the Ma family made a mess.At least in Li Bing's view, he was committing a crime. A mere Ma Zheng, the guy His Majesty said would be taken back. How dare your Ma family help Ma Zheng escape?

It's a joke, the whole world is the king's soil, yes, at this time Li Bing remembered this sentence that he himself had forgotten for a long time, since the whole world is the king's soil, where can you go, Ma Zheng?Don't even think about the Twelve Barbarians in the Northwest. The reward offered by the Da Yue Clan is enough to make people who want to catch Ma Zheng line up from the long queue to Tianshui. Where else can Ma Zheng go?
After learning that Li Bing had escaped, Li Bing didn't intend to just stand aside and watch the show. The person ran from Tianshui City. As the leader, he had the responsibility and the obligation to arrest the suspect.

After discussing with himself, Li Bing quickly formed an arresting team, led by Ma Zheng's old acquaintance Bai Feixiang, and began to follow the clues to hunt down Ma Zheng.

Bai Feixiang lived up to Li Bing's entrustment, and soon pointed the clue to Majiajiazibao.

However, the Wubao of the Ma family is definitely a restricted area for outsiders. No matter how arrogant Bai Feixiang is, he doesn’t want to go to the Ma family’s territory to seek death, so he had to turn around and ask Li Bing for a life-saving talisman—assistant investigation of official documents. Take the people and go straight to Jiazi Fort.

Such a delay along the way, when Bai Feixiang and his men rushed to Jiazibao, Ma Zheng and Zhao Shuying had already embarked on the road to Bashu, and Bai Feixiang found nothing again.

Fortunately, Li Bing didn't set a specific time for him, so Bai Feixiang was not in a hurry, he seized the time to collect evidence, tried to find out where Ma Zheng was, and continued to search for Ma Zheng.

If the Li family is a hunting dog, then Bai Feixiang is definitely a dog nose.
