Yang Shouwen was a little confused!

He looked at Qiu Shengtou, and never expected that Ji Li Yuanying would choose to surrender, and surrender to him...

It is no wonder that Yang Shouwen may be well-known in the two capitals, but after leaving the two capitals, he is not famous.

Especially in the land of Anxi, people are more willing to surrender to a powerful person than to a person who is famous but has no strength. From this point of view, Yang Shouwen has no influence in Anxi.

But, Ji Li Yuanying actually wants to surrender to him?

Yang Shouwen couldn't help but squint his eyes and looked at Qiu Sheng's head.

Qiu Sheng smiled and said, "Mr. Yang, don't doubt that the reason why Ji Li Yuanying is willing to surrender to you is because he is in Anxi, and he already has another choice... Wuzhile still has strength and still has 60,000 string control men under him. Regardless of whether he eliminated Bo Lu or not, as long as he shows his sincerity, I believe that even the Anxi Protectorate Mansion must seriously consider it.

Not to mention, Uzhile has worked hard to manage and cooperated with many tribes over the years.

The Pugu tribe of Jinwei Mountain, the Basimi people of Langshan, as well as the wormers of Mengchi, the marshy horse people and the Baye ancient people, all have very close ties with him. This is a versatile guy. Even if the court really wants to eliminate it, it must slowly take action. Because once Wuzhile is to be eliminated, it is likely to cause turmoil in the entire Anxi."

Speaking of this, Qiu Shengtou paused for a moment.

He sighed and whispered: "If Ji Li Yuanying surrenders, there will be no place to stay in Anxi.

He can surrender to the court, but if Wu Zhile really wants to attack him, even the court will consider the interests. Therefore, he must find someone who can protect him well, and Yang Jun, you are his only choice at the moment."

When Yang Shouwen heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

"How do you know that I can protect him?"

Qiu Shengtou said seriously: "I don't know... Ji Li Yuanying doesn't know either, but he must have a gamble this time."

Bet!

If Yang Shouwen cannot protect him, Ji Li Yuanying can only admit that he is unlucky.

But what if Yang Shouwen has this ability?

Yang Shouwen took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and pondered the pros and cons of it.

A moment later, he suddenly said to Li Ke: "Li Jun, please come and find Silang, my eldest brother, and Mina."

"Here!"

Li Ke bowed and agreed, and then withdrew from the tent.

Yang Shouwen did not continue to talk to Qiu Shengtou, but waited for a while before hearing footsteps outside the tent.

Mingxiu and others walked in, and Yang Shouwen opened his eyes and signaled them to sit down.

"Qiu Shengtou, repeat what you said to me just now."

Qiu Shengtou immediately agreed and repeated what he had said just now. After he finished speaking, Mina and Jeddah looked confused, while Mingxiu was thinking. He asked Qiu Shengtou for a moment before sitting down, pondering and silent.

"Jun Yang, what are the arrangements you have when you come here?"

Yang Shouwen made a gesture of "Don't be impatient" with his palm facing down.

At this time, Mingxiu also raised her head and looked at Yang Shouwen and said, "Qingzhi, your idea is indeed the best solution."

Qiu Shengtou sat aside with a confused look on his face.

Yang Shouwen smiled at Mingxiu and said in a deep voice: "Silang really knows me."

He stood up, waved to Li Ke to come forward, "Come the map."

"Here!"

Li Ke quickly turned around and left, and in a short while, he came back with the map.

After spreading the map in the center of the tent, Yang Shouwen walked forward, pointed at a place on the map, and said to Qiu Shengtou: "Go back and tell Ji Liyuanying immediately that I can protect him this time. However, I want him to lead his troops to move westward immediately and build a city in the valley between the downstream of the Sacred Leaf Water and the Yaoshui River. After the construction of the city is completed, he can immediately send someone to contact me. I will try to find his identity for him in front of the saint."

Medicine kills water, which is what later generations call the Sir River.

"New Book of Tang? Biography of the Western Regions" once recorded that there is a medicine to kill water in the southwest of the Shi Kingdom, and it is called Zhenzhu River when entering China.

Medicine Killing is an ancient Persian word, meaning "pearl".

To be precise, this place belongs to the Shi Kingdom territory of the nine surnames of Tocharo Zhaowu. But in fact, the Shi Kingdom has no ability to control this land. Therefore, this becomes the northwest of Anxi and a land without a master.

But this land is indeed a must-pass place for the great people to move eastward.

No one knows better than Yang Shouwen the threat that the great people brought to the Tang Dynasty in the future, and no one knows better than Yang Shouwen. In history, the great people once had a war with the Tang Dynasty in this area, that is, the "Talas Battle" that claimed to have changed the history of world civilization. But where is Talas? Yang Shouwen is not clear.

At least, this area is not marked on the map in front of Yang Shouwen.

Yang Shouwen just vaguely remembers that the Battle of Talas in history took place in the Sir River Basin... In other words, if Jili Yuanying could build a city here, it would have blocked the great people's way eastward advance. This was a gambling. If it succeeded, there might not be the "Battle of Talas" again, and the Tang Dynasty could continue to control Anxi.

However, he would not tell anyone what he thought. The only person who guessed the mystery was Mingxiu...

Because on the way westward, Yang Shouwen talked to Mingxiu more than once about the threat of the great man.

"Mina, have you seen this land?"

After Yang Shouwen finished speaking, Ming Xiucai spoke.

He pointed to the area from the lower reaches of the Sir River to the Aral Sea and said to Mina: "This is very close to Khorasan, just cross the Wuhu River and you can reach it. If, I mean, if, can we fight for a piece of land for you and your people here, can you gain a foothold here?"

"But here, it's under the rule of Shiguo."

"Shiguo?"

Mingxiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, the court will try to give him compensation at that time.

If you and your tribe can gain a foothold here, the Shi Kingdom is adjacent to the south and the city built by Jili Yuanying in the east echoes you. At that time, you two can support each other and help each other, and the Shi Kingdom will not be able to drive you away.

This piece of land is enough to accommodate your 100,000 tribes..."

When Mina heard this, she couldn't help but take a deep breath and walked to the map to check it out.

The yellow bearded man is roaming Anxi, so he naturally knows this land.

Mina looked for a while, then suddenly raised her head and stared at Yang Shouwen and said, "Yang Jun, can you guarantee that the Emperor of Tang can agree to our living here?"

Yang Shouwen smiled, without answering, but looked at Mingxiu.

Mingxiu nodded and said in a deep voice: "As long as you can show your ability and qualifications to live here!"

There is never a free lunch in this world.

Benevolence, righteousness and morality are only one aspect, and interests can prevent the boat of friendship from overturning.

As a child of a noble family, Mingxiu has a deeper understanding of the word "interest". Fighting Mien and raising Mi hatred... If Wu Zetian really let Mina stay for nothing, she might not be grateful to Mina, but would have other ideas.

Do you want to place your people in Anxi?

Can!

But you have to show that you are qualified to live here.

What is the qualification?

Mina grew up in Suiye City, and her bones were also infected with the habits of some businessmen.

Hearing Mingxiu's words, she still didn't understand what Yang Shouwen meant, and her beautiful eyes immediately smiled into a crescent moon.

"Yang Jun means...I want Ji Liyuanying and I to monitor the five crossbows for the Emperor of Tang, and to block the great masters?"

Yang Shouwen smiled very well, but did not answer Mina's question, but turned his head to look at Qiu Sheng's head.

"Qiu Shengtou, what do you think?"

Qiu Shengtou's eyes suddenly showed admiration. He looked at Yang Shouwen and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Yang is far-sighted and admires his humble position."

Jili Yuanying surrendered?

But if he surrenders, can he end up in something better?

Well, even if Yang Shouwen saves his life, he will still have a criminal record and the court will never allow him to stay in Anxi.

At least, he can't stay in Anxi and find trouble for Uzhile!

If Jili Yuanying leaves, his tribe members will be disbanded. In that case, Jili Yuanying's usefulness will be greatly reduced.

However, if Ji Li Yuanying stays and his tribesmen can stay in Anxi, it will be another situation.

He and Uzzile have turned against each other and will cause trouble for Uzzile.

Even if it cannot bring substantial blows to Uzzile, it can still disgust Uzzile from time to time, and monitor the movements of the five crossbows. Mina's tribe members need a lot of supplies to settle down. In the early stage, they can provide them through Jili Yuanying... Once the Persians stabilize their position, they can in turn support Jili Yuanying...

For the Tang Empire, why not to lay a wedge in Anxi and restrain the power of the various tribes in Anxi?

In the west, there are the Persian exile empire and Jili Yuanying; in the east, there are the soldiers and horses in the four towns of Anxi.

By echoing each other, the situation in Anxi can be further stabilized and the Tang Empire's control over Anxi.

The most important thing is that this force can be included in the command of Prince Li Xian...

"Qiu Shengtou, you immediately return to Jili Yuanying's side and let him evacuate before noon.

I want him to gain a foothold there at the end of the year and build the city properly. As for other things, I will find a way to prevent him from worrying. What I can guarantee is that Uzzile will not threaten him within a year."

"Abide by the orders of humble duties."

"Okay, Li Jun, you can see me off for me."

Yang Shouwen winked at Li Ke, and Li Ke led Qiu Sheng to leave.
