"How are you going to take Gaochang Country?"

In the military camp a hundred miles away from Gaochang Ancient City, Xiao Yu really wanted to see Wang Xiao's military talent.

"Gaochang has not many troops, but there are still thousands of defenders. If you recruit people to build a city, you will probably be able to pull out 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. Although the city wall is not high, all you bring are cavalry. How are you going to fight?"

Putting down the map in his hand, Wang Xiao shook his neck, "It's so boring to attack the city, and there must be a lot of casualties. I came here for people, and of course I used a plan."

"The plan will be released?"

"I want to ask for your help in this matter."

"Me?" Xiao Yu was a little surprised. "What can I do? Although I used to control the secret spy in Nanliang, I was captured by you for so long, and there has been a replacement over there. Moreover, I, Daliang, have no power in the Western Regions."

Wang Xiao looked at her, "I heard what you mean, I seem to be dissatisfied with me asking you to visit?"

Xiao Yu snorted "Haha."

"It's so boring that you can play intrigue all day. Follow me to visit famous mountains and rivers and appreciate the customs and cultures in various places. Life is short, so don't waste it on fighting."

Xiao Yu's pretty face was slightly cold, "Just say whatever you want to say."

"Do you know the thirty-six strategies?"

"Of course I know."

"I want to use the most useful one of the thirty-six strategies. This trick must be based on your help."

Xiao Yu seemed to understand something, and his expression became strange, "Beauty Scheme?"

'Pa.' Wang Xiao clapped his hands, "I knew you were a smart girl. Using this move would save the army from siege."

Princess Nanliang closed her eyes and calmed down her emotions, "Aren't you afraid of sending sheep into the tiger's mouth?"

"There is no tiger, it's just a group of little wild boars. You are my sheep, and I will follow you to protect you."

Xiao Yu rubbed his eyebrows and said, "What are the benefits of me?"

"Who and we are talking about the benefits." Wang Xiao picked up a glass of wine and walked over, sitting next to her. "Mine is yours, yours is mine. Come and drink one."

Xiao Yu said that she had never seen such a shameless person.

He didn't tell me after he caught me, but he also tortured himself with words all day long.

If it weren't for his talent, there would always be many unexpected and eye-catching words and behaviors, Xiao Yu would have turned against him long ago.

As for whether it is handsome or not, Princess Nanliang has never seen a handsome guy.

He was under the eaves and had to bow his head.

Xiao Yu could only helplessly agree to Wang Xiao’s request and play the role of the beauty in the beauty trap.

There are a large amount of military farms here in Gaochang, and the grain output is almost enough to support people.

There are also salt fields nearby, so you can make a lot of money by selling salt.

Most importantly, they were crossing the Silk Road and had very developed commercial trade.

Just collecting taxes on the endless stream of caravans is enough to make them rich.

However, the same as the countries in the Western Regions is that the real wealth and fields fall into the hands of the big merchants and princes and ministers in the city. The lives of ordinary people are still in poverty.

Wang Xiao's army stopped a hundred miles away, while Gaochang State had no attention to matters fifty miles away.

Even if a caravan informed a large number of troops to move around, they just thought that horse bandits were gathering everywhere in the Western Regions.

On that day, a large caravan drove over from afar.

When the city gate officer inspected the goods, he found that these were all distilled wine of high numbers, as well as iron tools, dates, wine, etc.

“Where did it come from?”

"Da Wei."

“Where are you going?”

"rest in peace."

The city gate official looked at the gorgeous carriage beside him, "If someone comes down, get in for inspection."

Wang Xiao smiled and bowed, "The person in the car is under the concubine."

"Even your wife has to be examined."

Xiao Yu, wearing a veil and a long moon-white dress, got off the carriage and stood beside Wang Xiao quietly twisted him.

Gaochang Kingdom is just a small country, although there are also beautiful women of outstanding colors. But Xiao Yu is a princess. The royal education she received since childhood and the aura of being a princess are not something that people from these small border countries can see.

Even wearing a veil, it still made everyone guarding the city gate stunned.

Wang Xiao winked, and the personal soldiers beside him stuffed a rectangular silver cake into the hands of the city gate official, "Please be more comfortable."

After carefully weighing the weight, he carefully checked the pass certificate. The city gate official waved reluctantly, "Go in."

Hundreds of fully armed caravans drove into Gaochang City in a mighty manner.

The Silk Road is called the business road with wealth. The wealth gathered here is enough to make countless people jealous.

Miscellaneous Hus everywhere, and even the soldiers and horses of various countries, will turn into horse bandits and plunder caravans. So it is normal to be fully armed here.

Gaochang City is very prosperous, with all kinds of shops and many pedestrians on the streets. People with all kinds of outfits and eyes are available.

The one with the most shops here is the inn.

The wealthy Wang Xiao directly found a large inn and smashed a round of silver cakes. The previous guests smiled and left the store.

“The environment here is pretty good.”

The room was very clean, and the bedding on the bed also had a fresh and sunny smell. Compared with the inns in the inner city where the large bunks, crawlers are all over the floor, and a layer of straw makes people sleep with them.

“Provide hot water to take a bath, order food and eat at any time. It’s not bad, very business-minded.”

Wang Xiao looked around and commented on the inn.

Xiao Yu, who took off the veil, came over and said, "What are you going to do?"

Wang Xiao looked at her with an ambiguous look, "Just do it normally."

Xiao Yu instinctively noticed that there was something in Wang Xiao's words, but he didn't know what it meant.

She was also strange. She was obviously from a family, so why did Wang Xiao always like to talk? Could it be that there was no beautiful maid around him?

"I will take you to sell ironware and distilled liquor in the city these two days. In terms of your color, it will spread throughout the city soon. In terms of your color, there will definitely be lustful people coming to ask for the price."

"I have sent someone here to inquire before. The current Gaochang Wang Qujian is also a hungry ghost. As long as he gets the news, he will definitely meet us. Just start directly. What is your expression?"

Xiao Yu stared at Wang Xiao with the look of being a hungry ghost in his lust, which made Wang Xiao, who is a gentleman, very dissatisfied.

"Don't be angry. After the matter is done, you can choose the jewelry in the palace as a reward."

"Can I still lack these?"

"As long as it is a woman, there is no one who doesn't like these."

Gaochang City is actually not big, with a population of tens of thousands in the city. Most of the people live in villages outside the city.

They are neither short of food nor money, but other daily necessities are relatively scarce. After all, they are a small country and are scarce, and it is difficult to provide everything.

The one that lacks the most is definitely iron tools.

Like on the grassland, the smelting technology of the Western Regions is not high, and the lack of materials leads to a shortage of iron tools. It can only be replenished by caravans from the distant Central Plains.

Wang Xiao brought a large number of iron tools this time, and it was very popular to sell them in the city.

Moreover, his distilled liquor has begun to spread here before, and is very popular with princes, ministers and big merchants.

Wang Xiao would bring Xiao Yu to the stage every time he was selling.

Judging from the temperament of Princess Nanliang, people from these border areas have never seen her. Soon her reputation spread throughout the city.

Because of his identity as a concubine, many big businesses have asked Wang Xiao about it. Some people are even willing to exchange all the maids in their mansion.

Wang Xiao sternly refused this, saying that unless he could get a tax exemption certificate, he would not mention it if he simply said money.

The caravans on the Silk Road have heavy taxes. Only King Gaochang can issue tax exemption certificates.

Without surprise, a few days later, Wang Xiao received an invitation from King Gaochang, inviting him to take his concubine to the palace to attend the banquet.

The palace of King Gaochang, okay, just think it is a palace. Anyway, compared to the inner palace, it is similar to the houses of ordinary aristocratic families.

The current Gaochang King is Qu Jian, who is the third generation Gaochang King of the Qu family.

Their ancestors came from the branch of the King of Yan in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. During the Han Dynasty, they moved westward to become a local tribe.

There is no great power near Gaochang, and the countries in the Western Regions are weaker than the other. As long as the Turks in the north and Tuguhun in the south are paid tribute on time, few will come to beat them.

If there is no change, this situation will continue until the Zhenguan period, when Hou Jun Ji and Gaochang pacified the Western Regions.

But now, Wang Xiao is here.

When they arrived at the palace hall, the big merchants and princes and nobles in the city had gathered here to drink and have fun.

Hu Yue is long and dances lightly.

Qu Jian's eyes were straightened when he saw Xiao Yu walking in with Wang Xiao.
